Verdict
Cookie Cat is a straightforward tool for generating a cookie list, but it should be used alongside other plugins for full compliance with cookie consent requirements.
From the developer
bobbingwide's own description of cookie-cat, lightly tidied.
Use the [cookies] shortcode to produce a table of all the cookies your WordPress site uses; showing cookie name, category, description and duration.
In April 2012 the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) UK issued the ICC UK cookie guide ( a 15-page / 296KB PDF report ).
The guidance, which has been welcomed by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), contains information on the different categories of cookies that website operators use.
The ICC UK cookie guide suggests some standard wording to include in your website’s Privacy policy.
This wording includes: A list of all the cookies used in this website by category is set out below.
This plugin will help you to create the list.
By default the list is dynamically generated taking into account the active plugins on the website.
This plugin does not implement anything to help you obtain the user’s consent to place a cookie on their device.
There are other plugins to help you do that.
Use in conjunction with oik-privacy-policy
