    I think you should automatically show the banner again when new cookies are added.

    Let’s say I accepted the Marketing cookies category because the cookies that were present at that specific moment seemed harmless to me.
    Now you add more cookies to the Marketing category, cookies that I might disagree with. So according to GDPR you must ask me for a re-consent.

    Thanks for reaching out.

    In accordance to the GDPR, the user is not opting-in to the individual cookies, but rather to the purpose, which could be online tracking for marketing purposes. If a user has opted-in to marketing, and an additional 3rd party cookie is being set on your website, which was not a part of the cookie declaration at that time, then it will be visible the next time your website is scanned (which is 1 month by default).

    If you want to stay 100% up to date, then we have an option to configure your account to get daily scans, however this may be too expensive for WP users, and is normally used by big media sites.

    If you are implementing new features yourself, and know that these features will introduce 1st party cookies, you can always start a manual scan of your website from https://manage.cookiebot.com/en/cookies

    Moreover, if you would like to reset all of your users consents, so that they are asked for a new consent next time they enter your site, then this is also possible.

    Please see Renew existing user consents
