I made a 1 KB alternative to Cookie Notice WordPress Plugin

Recently one of the members of our Facebook Group asked this:

So which one is the fastest cookie notice plugin?

I couldn’t find a good one. Most of the cookie consent WordPress plugins will slow down your site. They’re bloated with too many features and unwanted CSS and JavaScript.

So I built one, a code snippet for cookie notice in WordPress without a plugin!

Adding it to WordPress

I didn’t make it as a WordPress plugin because it’s so easy to integrate. Also creating it as a WordPress plugin will require database calls to query the text, colour etc.

In order to add it to your WordPress site, go to your Appearance -> Theme Editor -> Theme Footer (footer.php) (from the right side) and paste the above code just before .

Customization

The text can be easily changed in the

tag. You can insert links or anything as you wish.

To edit the background colour, search for #596cd5 and replace it with yours. For the button’s background colour search for #3842c7 and replace it.
