New plugins for many CMS / shop systems

With the latest update, we have taken a look at the plugins for the various CMS and shop systems and completely revamped them. In particular, we looked at how we can make onboarding to the plugins easier for clients: For example, instead of manually copying the code IDs, the appropriate CMP and settings can now be selected directly in the plugin.
Secondly, we have expanded the range of plugins. In addition to the plugins for our cookie banner integration, we now also offer plugins to make it easier to use and integrate our other tools. This particularly applies to plugins for integrating our privacy policy generator, data subject rights form, whistleblowing form and for our privacy-friendly website analytics tool.
