I asked for opinions from WordPress Experts on this topic - Is it mandatory to add a cookie consent notice on every site? If yes, then which plugin do you recommend?

I got several replies. In this episode, I have explained every possible thing what I have learnt from them. This is episode no 004.

In general, it is mandatory to add a cookie consent notice on every site that uses cookies or similar technologies to track user behavior or gather personal information. This is because many countries and regions, including the European Union and California, have laws and regulations that require websites to inform users about their use of cookies and obtain their consent before setting these cookies.

The specific requirements for cookie consent notices may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the types of cookies used on the site. For example, in the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that cookie consent be obtained through a clear affirmative action, such as clicking an "I accept" button, and that users be provided with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies being used.

Even if a website is not subject to legal requirements for cookie consent notices, it is generally considered good practice to provide users with information about the types of cookies being used and to obtain their consent where appropriate. This helps to build trust with users and demonstrates a commitment to protecting their privacy.

But Some other said it's not mandatory and it cannot be handled by a single tool. We should take support from law experts.

To know the details you have to listen the eposiode.
