Cookiebar not showing
-
Installed cookiebot plugin a while ago and worked excellent. This morning I noticed the cookiebar was not showing anymore. Hence I updated the official cookiebar plugin and debugged the plugin settings. Everything seems to be correct but still the cookiebar is not showing after cookie removal. The Cookie declaration page is working properly: https://www.hummingbird-online-marketing.nl/cookies/
Could you please help?

It seems that Cookiebot is rendered twice on your website.
Inspecting your source code, we see the following tags:
<script id="Cookiebot" src="https://consent.cookiebot.com/uc.js" data-cbid="4f9ef948-6bfb-4d2f-9cc3-d0ffead424a8" data-culture="NL" type="text/javascript" async=""></script>and
<script type="text/javascript" id="Cookiebot" src="https://consent.cookiebot.com/uc.js?cbid=4f9ef948-6bfb-4d2f-9cc3-d0ffead424a8"></script>The Cookiebot WP plugin is inserting the first one in the
<head>section. Do you know where the second one is coming from? Did you perhaps insert it manually in your template?It is dynamically added to the <body>, so it’s only visible if you inspect with Chrome Developer tools.

In the Network tab we can see that it’s coming from GTM:
If you want to use Cookiebot with GTM, you can disable the banner (uc.js) from being displayed by the plugin (there is a checkbox for it). This way you will still be able to use the declaration shortcode and prior consent addons.
I see, thanks. This was indeed generated through GTM. I used your manual for GTM implementation. I now selected the ‘hide cookie popup’ setting in your plugin so one of the tags is removed. But it is still not working unfortunately. Can you see what’s going wrong here?
Maybe good to add: the popup did work a while ago, even without selecting the ‘hide cookie popup’ option.
Cookiebot stores a cookie called CookieConsent, which remembers your consent state. This cookie is in your browser for up to 12 months. You can do either of the following, to see the banner again:
1. Delete the CookieConsent cookie from your browser
2. Open your website in Incognito mode
Let us know if it works 🙂
We have verified and the banner is popping up as it should.
The only thing you would want to investigate, is if you have configured prior consent on Google Analytics (GA) correctly. It seems that some GA cookies are being set before consent is given.
Our GTM guide has a detailed explanation on how to do so:
