Stores consents in local DB hence fully GDPR compliant

The big advantage of this plugin over other banners plugins is that it allows you storing user’s consents of the cookies banner into the local DB of your wordpress setup (with the premium version).

This makes the plugin fully GDPR compliant because this information doesn’t even leave your website. Normally, even this consent data is considered as personal data and hence subject to GDPR. Thus by contracting a membership to store this data in an external DB makes it probably not GDPR compliant anymore, but it seems that GDPR plugin makers do not really care about that.
However with this info they could sell it again further or do whatever they like and hence this type of personal data handling and cookies could not be defined as strictly necessary cookies, and can probably not be GDPR compliant or would need the consent of the user for that too.

Using the free version that doesn’t store any consent (allowed in certain cases) or with the premium version and storing consents locally, you make sure that your data is not sold somewhere else and remains fully GDPR compliant. Hence that these banner cookies can fully be defined as strictly necessary, without needing any consent for that, and still remaining fully respectful of data protection regulations around the world.
