    Hello.

    I have installed the free version of “GDPR Cookie Consent” plugin and when looking at the automatically created list of cookies, the “CookieLawInfoConsent” cookie was not created, whereas all others were there.

    I think it is a mistake, it should be added, as else it is not shown in the list of cookies for the website in the GDPR settings for the user to accept.

    Also, can you please clarify in which category this cookie has to be placed?
    Because it contains some obscure code like ‘eXcVikw92aHjas..==’
    So we don’t know what this means and it might be defining a tracking method for the plugin, and hence could not fall into the “Strictly essential” category defined in the GDPR.

    Can you certify that this “CookieLawInfoConsent” does not contain any personal data?

    Hi @doolyo,

    We understand the concern and it should be added by default. It will be improved in the scanner soon.

    As mentioned in the read me/plugin description, here are the cookie details. We can confirm that it does not save any tracking data/personal data.

    CookieLawInfoConsent – Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie.

    Thank you for your answer.

    I still need to know in which category I must list this “CookieLawInfoConsent” cookie in the cookie list, when I setup the cookie.

    Can you please let me know?

    Also thank you to tell that it does not track/save personal data. However how can we check this? If this number is unique, then it would be easy to track the user through this.
    Can you then provide the code that encodes these parameters, so to be able to reproduce this number from only the parameters change?
    If I understand properly, there would just be a maximum number of values that are the combination of all cookies parameters (yes/no), right?

    Hi @doolyo,

    Apologies for the delay.

    Please list it in the NECESSARY category. You can use some online tool like this to decode its value. It simply holds the yes or no values for each category.

    Thank you for the category info, and also for the tool to decode its value, this is really good so we can verify it.

    Thank you.
    For the review, for me it is missing the storage of the consents in the local database for now which is very important for me.

    Hi @doolyo,

    If you are referring to saving a user consent log, it is one of the pro version features.

    Yes I am referring to the user consent storage in logs.
    I have seen that it is available in the princing plan on cookieyes.com, but it stores these consents in an external database, which is not very good for GDPR. Also a version where we have no monthly limit and letting us store consents in our local database is much better, so that there is no third party involved, and it is a risk less. It makes it more GDPR compliant and safer. We don’t really know what will be done from this info so better storing them locally. Some companies might prefer storing this on your servers, but some others can prefer storing locally for these reasons, so it would be great to have such a local storage plan, but $20/month is already too much in my opinion.

    Hi @doolyo,

    You can choose our premium version WordPress plugin instead of the CookieYes SAAS solution if you want to store the consent log locally in your own database.

    Hello.
    Is this “GDPR Cookie Consent” plugin different than the CookieYes plugin?
    Do you have a list of differences between both?

    Also I saw that there is a free version too if I am not mislead?

    Hi @doolyo,

    We have a WordPress plugin that has a free version and a paid version with more features. Apart from that, we can have SAAS solution(https://app.cookieyes.com/) that works on any platform. While there are subtle differences in working due to differences in platform, both are for cookie and script management.

    Ok, thank you.

    It would be great to have a web page that shows all those differences so that we can directly install the version we prefer, without having to test them before and see the differences, if you can provide that.
