    As recent reviews have already pointed out, the v2 release of this plugin introduces an aggressive monetization strategy that it would appear many feel is too invasive. Here’s the highlights:

    1. Upon activation, the plugin takes over the admin dashboard with a prompt to create an account.
    2. Next you are prompted to choose your monthly plan and provide credit card details.
    3. A small “Remind me later” link in the lower left is the only clear way to exit.
    4. Plugin settings have moved to the root of the admin menu, with a new “Welcome to Cookie Notice” menu item under Dashboard.

    This started as a subtle and well balanced plugin that does one thing well. Now it feels invasive and sleazy. Oh, the hu-manity!
