Our Pick: WPLP

If your site needs more than a privacy policy, WPLP covers it. You get terms, refund policies, disclaimers, and disclosures next to your cookie banner, on one plan. You also get a web app to manage every site from one login, and IAB TCF that’s live today.

SureCookie is a solid cookie consent plugin from an experienced team. It’s the better fit if you only need cookie consent and a privacy policy, want a lifetime license, or run more than 50 sites and don’t need legal pages.
