ePrivacy compliance by allowing cookies only after obtaining prior consent.

I tested the plugin with a online tool and it went very well expect that apparently there is an issue with getting prior consent to other than strictly necessary cookies (AKA ePrivacy). My understanding is that cookies installed during the loading of pages are not strictly necessary. For EU users these cookies can be installed after obtaining prior consent (Rec. 30 and Rec. 32 of the GDPR). Are there any setting of your plugin that I missed to use to get this result? Thank you

Only cookies from your added domains will be able to be set for the user. So; check your settings.

I see that your site is setting Google Analytics cookies before the user accepts. Are those domains set under “Always allow”?

Otherwise I guess you are using a cache plugin that is messing with you. Read more here: I’m using a cache plugin, and it seems to be interfere with this plugin.
Or maybe it’s your host, in that case, read here: The settings does not seem to have an effect. What do I do?.

Hi @jonkastonka thanks for asking, and sorry for not coming back to you sooner. The issue is still ongoing. I set the WP Fastest Cache as requested, and I have contacted my hosting to ask them to uncache the cookies_and_content_security_policy cookie and now waiting for their reply. I let you know if this solves my issue.

Hi @jonkastonka, my hosting provider does not do server caching.
In your first message you said

My answer is no, these domains should not be always allowed, but only if they opt for them.
Is there a way that I can anticipate the “user accept/reject” in the HTML and would this solve the issue of blocking the cookies till the user decides what to accept? Thanks

So; Not always. 😉 Put them in Analytics. Then they will be allowed if they opt for them.

Some javascript like this may work. Experiment a little with it.
```
if (Cookies.get('cookies_and_content_security_policy')) {
    cookies_and_content_security_policy = Cookies.get('cookies_and_content_security_policy');
    if (cookies_and_content_security_policy.includes("statistics")) {
        // do your stuff here
    }
}
```

Thanks!
btw…
I translated the texts into Italian, such as instead of Statistics, the header is now Statistici. Do you think that this may affect the plugin work?

Not if you translated through po/mo-file
