Hi @seemannslohn,

When a user accepts a cookie, the value of the cookie viewed_cookie_policy will be set “yes” and if rejects the value of the cookie will be “no”. By default, the value of the cookie is “null”. This can be viewed from the developer console when the cookies have been accepted or rejected and the page has been reloaded.

See the screenshot of the value of viewed_cookie_policy, when the cookies are accepted and the cookies have been rejected.

When the value of viewed_cookie_policy is “yes” the corresponding scripts will be rendered. As in the below JS code for Google Analytics, here it will enable for GA if the consent is yes. i.e., the value of the viewed_cookie_policy is “yes”.

<script type="text/javascript"
 src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-cookie/1.4.1/jquery.cookie.min.js">
var consent_value = $.cookie("viewed_cookie_policy");

        if (consent_value == 'yes')
        {
            enableGoogleAnalytics(); // enable GA inside this function
        }

Hi @jepsoninc,

We will resolve this issue in the next update of the plugin soon.

Hi @ernokene,

When the user rejects a cookie the cookie will stay rejected until the user accepts the cookie again or clears the browsing history.

Hi @xusje,

Please raise a ticket in our support desk here, so that we can look into the issue in detail and resolve it for you.

Hi @davidroccato,

The plugin blocks cookies when the user has rejected the cookies. When a user has rejected, all the non-necessary cookies will be restricted.

The plugin does not enter the cookies automatically. You have to enter the cookies that your website uses manually.

Hi @elisa94 @228dan,

When you click on the [delete_cookie] shortcode the cookie viewed_cookie_policy will be deleted from the browser. This cookie is used to store the user’s consent. The deleted cookie will again show up when the website is reloaded.

The reject button in the plugin will set the value of viewed_cookie_policy to “no” and the scripts related to the non-necessary cookies will not be rendered on the site.

You can see whether the cookies are deleted or not from the browser itself. You can delete the individual cookies from the browser which will then again show up once the site is reloaded if you have not put the restrictions in place.

Hi @wecreatejt,

Our plugin does not dump any code. Could you please check the issue by disabling other plugins.
