 * Uninstalling this plugin across all my sites due to intrusive full page advert
   following update. Don’t appreciate plugins taking over admin area to promote 
   their own agenda. Certainly won’t be paying or upgrading to the new version.

 * Thanks for the review [@nirajshah-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nirajshah-1/)
 * We introduced the Compliance upgrade with the (admittedly aggressive) full splash
   screen to attempt to communicate to Cookie Notice users that they are at risk
   of not complying with the latest clarifications to existing data privacy laws(
   as well as new laws coming into enforcement w/in next 18 months).
 * These clarifications include ‘Prior Consent Rules’, which state that consent 
   is invalid if cookies are set / sent prior to consent being registered, and a
   requirement to record ‘Proof-of-Consent’, which instructs data controllers (i.
   e. the business behind the website) to store consent receipts in a machine-readable
   standard.
 * Cookie Compliance provides the Autoblocking and Consent Logs services (in addition
   to consent analytics and many more UI/UX customizations) for a monthly subscription
   because these services generate API and data storage costs.
 * While we agree that the full-screen takeover is both painful and annoying, we
   made the decision to implement this approach as it was the most effective way
   to bring your attention to the increasing compliance risk that you / your customers
   are facing.
 * We wish you the best of luck in finding an alternative.
