Cookies set when writing comments are placed in the browser only when you make a comment. In order for Cookiebot to catch these, we would have to create random comments on your blog, which is not desirable. * If you have a blog, and you know that cookies are being set when writing comments, you can add these cookies manually in the Manager, under the Cookies menu. * Thread Starter [timbruls](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timbruls/) * (@timbruls) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-cookies-3/#post-10378389) * That would be these then, right? * comment_author_{HASH} comment_author_email_{HASH} comment_author_url_{HASH} * Found the info here:[https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Cookies](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Cookies) * Guess I have to dive into the code to make them eligible for prior consent. * Plugin Author [cookiebot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cookiebot/) * (@cookiebot) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-cookies-3/#post-10378412) * [@timbruls](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timbruls/) * > That would be these then, right? > comment_author_{HASH} > comment_author_email_{HASH} comment_author_url_{HASH} * That looks correct. * The latest WP 4.9.6 release has optin support for comment cookies. * A quick Google search lead me to this: * [https://blogaid.net/wordpress-4-9-6-new-gdpr-tools/](https://blogaid.net/wordpress-4-9-6-new-gdpr-tools/) * > Guess I have to dive into the code to make them eligible for prior consent. * If you are a coder, and have some plugins that you would like to enable prior consent for, we would be more than happy [to get a contribution to our prior consent repository](https://github.com/cybotas/cookiebotaddons). - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [cookiebot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cookiebot/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [cookiebot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cookiebot/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [cookiebot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cookiebot/). * Thread Starter [timbruls](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timbruls/) * (@timbruls) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-cookies-3/#post-10378604) * Manually added them in cookiebot.

There is a checkbox to set them (or not) when commenting. So they are only set when commenting.

However, you should shown them in your cookie declaration. * > rescanned, now my google analytics cookies don’t show up any longer, luckily > I like puzzles * That’s weird. Try to scan it again, and let me know if your GA cookies are still not showing. * Plugin Author [cookiebot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cookiebot/) * (@cookiebot) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-cookies-3/#post-10385879) * [@timbruls](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timbruls/) * > rescanned, now my google analytics cookies don’t show up any longer, luckily > I like puzzles * Your site may not have been available at the time of the scan. If that was the case, only Cookiebot cookies and custom cookies will be available in the declaration. - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [cookiebot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cookiebot/).
