 * Dear Fabio,
 * First of all, I would like to thank you for this plugin. You have created something
   really impressive, and I can only imagine how much effort went into it.
 * I would like to ask for your help with a small issue.
   My site is built with the
   Bricks Builder, and I use Google Maps to display my address. The scan didn’t 
   find the Google Maps cookie, so I added it from the script options. Although 
   it was still working, when I chose “accept/deny all cookies”, it still didn’t
   appear in the cookie banner under “functional”. I then added the cookie manually,
   and it now appears in the cookie banner.
 * The second issue is that there is no banner over the map displaying a message
   for visitors saying, ‘In order to see the map, you must accept functional cookies’.
   I hope this makes sense.
 * Could you please help me with this?
 * Best regards,
   Asterios

 * Thank you, and thanks for the link to your contact page, it made the problem 
   easy to see. Both things you noticed have the same cause: Bricks does not use
   an iframe for its Map element. It prints an empty box and draws the map from 
   JavaScript once the Google Maps script has loaded. FAZ was already blocking that
   Google script until consent, which is correct, but it had nothing to show in 
   the empty box, so visitors saw a blank space with no notice and no way to accept.
 * This is fixed in 1.32.0. The Bricks Map element now gets the same consent notice
   as any other blocked embed, with an Accept button right where the map goes. Until
   the visitor accepts, the map settings stay parked and nothing is requested from
   Google. After the click the Google script loads and Bricks draws the map on the
   same page, without a reload. Your site uses WP Rocket’s Delay JavaScript, which
   loads Bricks’ map script later than Google’s, and that case is handled too: FAZ
   starts the map once both scripts are there. After updating, please clear the 
   WP Rocket cache so visitors get the new version of the page.
 * About the scan not finding a Google Maps cookie: that is expected. The map sets
   its cookies on Google’s own domains, not on yours, and a scan of your site can
   only read the cookies your domain sets. FAZ still recognises Google Maps as a
   service from its script and blocks it, so the cookie entry is not what makes 
   the blocking work. Keeping the entry you added is fine, and useful, because it
   is what lists Google Maps in the cookie declaration your visitors read.
 * Your map is in the Functional category, which is a reasonable choice for a location
   map. If you turn on “Enable per-service consent” in Settings, the Accept button
   on the map allows Google Maps alone instead of the whole Functional category.
