GDPR change to plugin PHP file?

    We changed our GDPR cookie notification to a plugin named CookieBot. In order to meet their requirements, I edited the CAOS file named host-analyticsjs-local.php

    Line 236 there is: <script>
    I changed that to: <script type="text/plain" data-cookieconsent="statistics">

    CookieBot details this link at “Step 3”

    Does not seem to have broken anything, but I’m interested in comments/questions.

    That’s awesome! Thanks for providing the link!

    If it’s that easy to implement compatibility with that plugin, I’ll implement it in my next releasy.

    I’ll do some further research and keep you posted.

    No other additions to my plugins were necessary?

    @daanvandenbergh The only other thing that has come up involves the MonsterInsights. That plugin has apparently now taken over handling the Google code on our site. I wonder if there is a more efficient way for webmasters to know which plugin is actually in charge?

    GDPR has clearly added another wrinkle to our work.

    Yeah, if you’re using CAOS combined with MonsterInsights (with MI Compatibility mode enabled in CAOS), that plugin places the snippet, CAOS only replaces the URL from where the analytics.js is loaded.

    The only way to let a webmaster know which plugin is in charge, is to add a comment in the page’s source code, which both CAOS and Monster Insights do: <!– this site uses blablabla for Analytics –>

    CAOS is compatible with many Cookie Notice plugins, however CookieBot isn’t one of them, because their implementation of the Cookie Notice is either very advanced or very exotic, I’ll leave that up to you. ??

    Hi there,
    I’m the author of the MonsterInsights plugin. Our paid version (any level) has an add-on that integrates us with CookieBot and automates a lot of the GDPR work with respect to GA for you, and that should work just fine with what CAOS does.

    We have super extensive documentation for GDPR on the Monsterinsights website.
