There are "plugins" which are generally "Extensions" to Cura, and then there are "post processors" which generally make some changes to the Gcode after it has been completed by Cura.
Custom "Plugin" folders should go into your Configuration Folder. In Windows mine is:
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

There are "plugins" which are generally "Extensions" to Cura, and then there are "post processors" which generally make some changes to the Gcode after it has been completed by Cura.
Custom "Plugin" folders should go into your Configuration Folder. In Windows mine is:
"C:\Users\_GregValiant_\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.8\plugins"
Plugins are multi-folder mini-apps. You could add one to the installation folder like:
"C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.8.0\share\cura\plugins"
But if you update Cura to a newer version you could lose it.
Custom "Post-Processors" consist of a single Python file and would go into:
"C:\Users\_GregValiant_\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.8\scripts"
You could add it to the installation folder in:
"C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.8.0\share\cura\plugins\PostProcessingPlugin\scripts"
But again, if it's in the installation folder you could lose it when upgrading to a newer version of Cura.
