Our Pick: WPLP
If your site needs a privacy policy and a cookie banner, WPLP does both on one plan. Its free plan also covers the parts that WPConsent charges for: consent logs, data requests, and a multi-language banner. And you can pay monthly at a price that won’t jump at renewal.
WPConsent is a good plugin with a big team behind it. It’s the better fit if you only need a cookie banner, want banner analytics, or already run WPForms and WooCommerce and want setup that’s ready for them.
