 * Hi Fernando,
    Unable to save settings in admin, since version 1.4.3. and 1.4.4.
   Can do it in 1.4.2.

 * Can you check if you don’t have any required fields missing content.

 * I don’t think so, because when I replace by ftp v1.4.4. with v1.4.2, without 
   changing settings, it works.
    For info, I test on a multisite.

 * OK, I had to reorganize my cookies fields and it works.
    But it doesn’t display
   as I want:
 * For instance I wanted to display 3 types of cookies: functionals, performance
   and third party, with 3 lines on the left tab Cookies settings (frontend)
 * Functionals are WordPress ones, always actives.
 * Performance are Google Analytics ones, as Third party domain, with link to opt-
   out.
    Must I fill in again, in Cookies used by site field, all cookies displayed
   below, in third party?
 * For third party it means to fill in third party domain with facebook buttons,
   youtube and so on.
    Must I compile in this top field all third party cookies 
   displayed below?
 * Because the plugin seems not to save settings if I don’t fill in Cookies used
   by site field, even if I don’t need it.

 * Hi [@bonaldi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bonaldi/)
 * This happens because I never planned for users to have a third-party category.
 * I planned for something like Strictly Necessary, Performance, Marketing, Ads 
   and so on.
 * And inside those categories, you would put your third party cookies.

 * I understand, but it’s a plan that users do not necessarily understand.
    May 
   be it would be easier to maintain for you, and easier for users to understand
   the plugin, to program a single hook which would include a block in which we 
   could choose if, by block, we need to display à link to third party privacies,
   a button on/off, a cookies list, a text description and so on. It’s a reflexion
   track, of course.

 * I understand.
 * This whole section is being reworked for V2 anyways. I want to make it easier
   for users to understand and more accessible.
 * I’m thinking about locking cookies to a predetermined set of categories. Like“
   Necessary, Statistics, Marketing, Other”.
 * Let me know what you think.

 * I propose to merge cookies and consents in an unique block (backend).
    Today,
   there are 2 tabs in admin settings, each one with add buttons options. I think,
   may be, it would be easier to have an universal block you could add with a button.
   As many times as needed. For instance you could create a
    - first block with following settings:
       Title: Consents A first block line for
      Social buttons, with button on/off and description field. A second block line
      for embeded videos, with button on/off and description field. A third block
      line for third party statistics, with button on/off and description field.
    - second block with following settings:
       Title: Cookies A first block line for
      Necessary, no button, with description field. A second block line for third
      party statistics, with cookies list, button on/off, link to Third Party privacies
      and description field.
 * You can see that someone who want to give possibility to consent to Third Party
   Statistics can do it, but if he wants only give a link, he can.
    Actually, the
   problem is the obligation to fill in some fields the user don’t need.
 * A drawing would be more speaking I guess… 🙂

 * A drawing would be nice, but I think got the idea though.
