Introduction

Site Verification, Site Management, Alerts & Awareness, Cookie Control, GDPR

🍪 A Top-Rated GDPR and Cookie Extension for Joomla!
Ensure full compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR in just minutes. The Cookies Policy Notification Bar by Web357 is a lightweight, fully customizable solution that helps you build user trust, manage cookie preferences, and stay legally compliant, without compromising website performance. It’s fully aligned with the latest data privacy regulations, including accessibility (WCAG), geo-targeted consent (via GeoIP), and full support for Google Consent Mode v2.

This extension goes beyond cookie banners. It gives you full control over how cookies and third-party scripts behave on your Joomla! site—based on real user choices. Block tracking scripts until consent is given, manage cookie categories with ease, and integrate effortlessly with Google Consent Mode v2.

Designed for businesses that take privacy seriously, it's your all-in-one solution to simplify compliance and protect your users' trust.

Why Choose Cookies Policy Notification Bar?

🔒 100% GDPR, CCPA, and PECR Compliant
Avoid fines and stay aligned with global data protection laws—no legal guesswork needed.

⚡ Fast & Optimized for Performance
Lightweight architecture ensures your Joomla! site remains fast and responsive.

🎨 Fully Customizable Cookie Banner
Easily adapt texts, colors, and positioning to match your brand’s identity.

📊 Google Consent Mode & Analytics Integration
Maintain accurate tracking while respecting each visitor’s privacy preferences.

🌍 Multilingual & Geo-Targeted Display
Automatically show the right banner in the right language—based on user location.

Complete Control, Built-In Flexibility

The Cookies Policy Notification Bar is not just another Joomla! GDPR plugin—it's a robust and flexible consent management solution designed for performance and ease of use.

Create and manage cookie categories such as Necessary, Analytics, Marketing, or Preferences. You can even define your own. Users can adjust their settings anytime, and delete cookies directly from their browser using shortcode functionality.

Consent is logged automatically, with timestamp and IP address, ensuring GDPR and PECR compliance. Operating in stricter regions? Disable IP logging with a single click.

Customize how and where the banner appears. Choose from 7 display positions, show or hide it for logged-in users, or target specific pages only. With GeoIP2 integration, the banner only shows in regions where it’s legally required.

Third-party scripts are fully controlled. Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and others are blocked by default and only loaded after user consent. Scripts are assigned to cookie categories and loaded dynamically.

Add a cookie consent table via shortcode, giving users full visibility into stored cookies. You can also define custom expiration rules and allow users to revisit or change their consent anytime.

Link to your privacy policy using a custom URL, Joomla! menu item, or modal window—fully translatable and flexible for multilingual sites.

Developer-friendly by design, the extension allows custom CSS and JavaScript, plus a debugging mode for safe testing.

You can also enable animations, control how long the banner stays visible, and reduce repeat display frequency—so it's effective without becoming intrusive.

Posted on 02 April 2023

Functionality

Provides everything you need in 2023 to fullfill the cookie directives in Europe according to DSGVO/GDPR

Ease of use

Well pre-configured and most easy to use plugin. Pre-configured and understandable in all aspects.

Support

Documentation

Quite not necessary, because of excellent design of the plugin. I did not need the documentation so far and guess I never will.

Value for money

This plugin is worth any cent you have to pay and you are even allowed to use it on as many sites as you want.

I used this to: I run several websites of my own and create from time to time websites for clients.

Works well, but no LINK for visitor to revisit settings

Squeaky Dino (15).
Posted on 01 April 2023

Functionality

This plugin offers plenty of options for branding and cookie consent (maybe too many?), including suggested wording for various scenarios

Ease of use

The configuration forms were long but intuitive. Additional options seemed quite complex and required editing code I didn't have access to.

Support

Tech support was prompt and helpful. Thank you for your help. (That's all I have to say)

Documentation

My suggestion: offer a "getting started" document showing how set up a couple of basic, simple compliance examples

Value for money

Seems good. Many options, useful if you can figure them out. I'd prefer if the advanced features were marked as such.

I used this to: I was unable to create a LINK the visitor could use to review or update the cookie settings. I didn't like the on-page (lower left) icon the plugin provided for this purpose. Also the plugin seemed overly complex to configure. For both of these reasons I decided not to use it.

Excellent

Ease of use

Value for money

Five star and well worth every penny. Easy to maintain with updates and translations.

I used this to: All my customers sites as well as for my own. The only one I use these days!
