There is no opt-out yet, my friend.

GDPR compliance states that no cookies should be collected BEFORE they accept. Is this something that may be implemented?

I’ve read this in a number of places too but it’s not about having no cookies set on page load, it’s about having no cookies set WITH personally identifiable information.

For example this plugin sets two necessary cookies, both of which are GDPR compliant.

No problem, I definitely see what you’re saying. Currently this plugin doesn’t have opt-out functionality.

Ideally, most of your cookies will not be “Must Use”, and you’ll allow users to opt-out of them. But this feature wont be released until V2.

I’m in the same boat as you actually. Currently we have all our cookies set to “Must Use” which is not GDPR compliant. Users have no choice but to accept the cookies or leave the website.

Waiting (not so) patiently for v2 😛

I think it’s working just as it should. Perhaps a “dismiss” button could be added in a later version. The dismiss button would hide the cookie consent banner.

But otherwise, from what you described, it’s working as you would expect. Your cookies are “must use”, therefore they’re set on load. The user can agree, dismissing the banner, or leave your website.

You can implement it in both those code snippets.

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXX-X"></script>
<script>
  if (is_allowed_cookie('_ga') && is_allowed_cookie('_gid')) {
    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
    gtag('js', new Date());gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', {"anonymize_ip":true,"allow_display_features":false,"link_attribution":false});
  }
</script>

I’ve formatted the code slightly so you can see the if statement. You’ll want to double check the cookie name(s), as I see you’re using Google Tag Manager and I’m not familiar with which cookies it sets.

Or for your second snippet:

public static function ua() {
  if (!is_allowed_cookie('_ga') || !is_allowed_cookie('_gid')) {
    return false;
  }
  $domain = ((empty(self::$settings['domain']))?'auto':self::$settings['disable-analytics-integration']);

  $code  = '<script>';
  $code .= "
    (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
    (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
    m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
    })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');";

  $code .= sprintf(
    "ga('create', '%s', '%s');",

    esc_attr(self::$uaid),
    $domain
  );

  if( ! empty(self::$settings['custom-code']) ) {
    $code .= self::$settings['custom-code'];
  }

  if( self::$settings['linkid'] ) {
    $code .= "ga('require', 'linkid');";
  }

  if( self::$settings['displayfeatures'] ) {
    $code .= "ga('require', 'displayfeatures');";
  } else {
    $code .= "ga('set', 'displayFeaturesTask', null);";
  }

  if( self::$settings['anonymize_ip'] ) {
    $code .= "ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);";
  }

  $code .= "ga('send', 'pageview');";

  $code .= '</script>';
}

+1, this would be huge. Successfully implemented opt-in consent using this great plugin.

From my understanding this would allow some cookies to be set when the user clicks “I agree”.
