First of all, let me say I am in no way affiliated with this plugin other than that I’m using it and the below might not be accurate in every scenario. It’s simply a report of what seems to be the case from what I can ascertain in my particular setup.<\/p>\n
I did however try to make sense of the description under the script blocking section and searched high and low regarding how to – in my case – deal with a google analytics implementation.
\nSo the below only refers to that , but I would assume it’s applicable to all sorts of things.<\/p>\n
In short: the description (as it stands in the current version of the plugin anyway) says: “Enter non functional cookies Javascript code here…etc”<\/p>\n
That’s somewhat misleading from what I can make out and to me seems to be something that’s got “lost in translation” so to speak (why would I possibly want to put non functional code anywhere ?!)<\/p>\n
I think a better description would be (something like):
\n“Put your javascript code here you want to be executed when ‘third party non functional cookies’ have been accepted”<\/p>\n
Because what seems to happen is the code you can put in that textarea will only get added to the\/a page if a user accepted those 3rd party cookies (Note: I have not tested what happens when using caching plugins as that might well throw some “spanners in the works” so to speak)<\/p>\n
as a real world example (works for me anyway – mileage might vary)<\/p>\n
I had a google analytics plugin installed on my site which generated more or less the following code on each page (sensitive data removed):<\/p>\n
\n<script type="text\/javascript">\n\tvar _gaq=_gaq||[];\n_gaq.push(["_setAccount","xxxxx"]),_gaq.push(["_setDomainName",".xxxxx.com"]),_gaq.push(["_trackPageview"]),function(){var t=document.createElement("script");\n\t\t.....some more code ........\n\t\ta.parentNode.insertBefore(t,a)}();\n<\/script>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nwhat needed to be done was to add that whole code (including <script .... <\/script><\/code> ) into the “Script blocking” textbox of this cookie plugin and subsequently de-activate the google analytics plugin that i used (as it knows nothing about that cookie consent plugin) so only the code added to that “Script blocking” box was being executed and only if consent was given<\/p>\nThat’s all from me on that subject.
\nmaybe it helps someone as I have come across many (unanswered) questions to that effect when searching for a solution myself……<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-10288599","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10288599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10288599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10288636,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10288599\/revisions\/10288636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10288599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
