cookie plugin
Cookie Plugin matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around keeping consent, privacy notices, and tracking disclosures compliant, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Privacy and consent mistakes create legal, trust, and campaign-tracking risk that owners struggle to audit. The entry wedge is to audit consent banners, privacy disclosures, and tracking scripts before compliance gaps become client or legal issues.
