From the developer
Jay Versluis's own description of Show Me The Cookies, lightly tidied.
Show Me The Cookies displays all current cookies your site is using. Once activated, you can find this list under Appearance – Cookies.
You can also display this list to your visitors by placing the shortcode [cookies] into any post or page.
WordPress uses several cookies under the hood by default. If you’d like to filter these out, use the shortcode [cookies-nowp], which will show a message if no non-WordPress cookies are found.
This plugin is based on code by David Artiss, who kindly made it available on GitHub.
