Cookies still allowed?

    Maybe I have misunderstood something… I’m sorry if I have. But having tested the otherwise very nice plugin I find that whether I accept or deny makes no difference. Except that the cookieconsent_status cookie contains the value I chose. When I deny, all the usual cookies are still set, right from the moment I access the site, and logging in still works (which it shouldn’t when denying cookies, and which it doesn’t when cookies are blocked in the browser, here: Chrome).
    So, is this plugin only meant to give the user a platform to choose, leaving the actual blocking to other plugins/code, or is it supposed to block the cookies when the user denies?

    Best regards,
    Christian

    Hi Christian,

    To answer your question:

    So, is this plugin only meant to give the user a platform to choose, leaving the actual blocking to other plugins/code, or is it supposed to block the cookies when the user denies?

    Yes. You summed up the function of this plugin quite nicely. The reason behind this, to create a more lightweight plugin with not too many features.
    The advantage of this is:
    1. more flexibility for you.
    2. better code maintainability -> faster new features.
    3. more stable.

    Disadvantage is of course: no one stop solution. But if you for example have all tags in GTM, you can easily prevent tracking via GTM.
