To track your website’s visitors and gather their personal data, obtaining their consent is key. Since the introduction of the GDPR in 2018, this has become a part of daily life for many of us here in the EU. Today’s plugin, Real Cookie Banner, is designed specifically for this purpose.
Under the Cookies section in the admin menu, the plugin provides a variety of options. To keep everything organized, the team at devowl.io has included a handy checklist, which guides newcomers step by step through the setup process.
During this setup, not only can basic details be configured, but also a range of nuances related to the services used and the text displayed in the cookie banners.
I must admit that I don’t run a single website that requires a cookie banner. However, whenever I’m asked for recommendations, Real Cookie Banner is always my go-to suggestion.
The team behind the plugin offers both free and premium versions. If you’d like to take a closer look before committing, you can set up a test environment on the devowl.io website.
