Transparency needed

I recently installed the Cookie Compliance plugin for my business, attracted by the promise of an “easy and free” start to ensure my website’s compliance. While the basic features are indeed user-friendly, I was taken aback by the alarming notification post-installation that my site was “NOT COMPLIANT.”As a small business owner, navigating the complexities of data privacy laws is challenging enough without being blindsided by such warnings. It would have been beneficial to have clear information about the limitations of the free version upfront, rather than discovering them post-installation.While I understand the freemium model and the need for premium features, transparency is crucial, especially when dealing with legal compliance. Users should be informed about what the free version can and cannot achieve before they invest time in installation and setup.I urge the developers to be more upfront about the capabilities of the free version and to consider the user experience. Alarming language without prior warning can evoke unnecessary anxiety. A more educational and guiding approach would be far more beneficial and would build trust with users.
