    This plugin looks interesting but like all cookie plugins… in no tutorial they tell you how to take the cookies that appear in a site to block them manually… not even a case study. Please, some example where it is shown how to find out exactly the cookies of a site and what I have to put in the plugin ? Everyone recommends these:

    https://www.cookieserve.com/
    https://www.cookiemetrix.com/

    So far so good but what exactly do I have to put in the plugin ? it’s all very confusing and confusing and the first ads in the Adsense accounts for not having an IAB compliant banner are already starting to come in. I hope someone can give a practical example or recommend a video explaining how to extract the cookies and put them manually with the plugin ? thank you very much.

    As I was afraid I just followed this tutorial https://www.cookielawinfo.com/user-guide/ to block the cookies with the plugin and the plugin doesn’t block even one adding to the list manually… either that or I’m doing something wrong.

    Hi @elevas33,

    As mentioned in the tutorial, to block cookies, you need to add the scripts of those cookies in the non-necessary cookie script input field in our plugin settings. Also, make sure to remove the same script if placed elsewhere in the site.

    Yes, but we’re back to the same thing… How to do it, not one example in all the Internet of the necessary steps to do it, some give you the example of the analytics code and that’s it, but what about adsense, YouTube, Facebook and so on? You can get it by inspecting it through Chrome or how do you do it? No one explains it. I know you have to add the scripts but how do you do it? Not one practical example that is not analytics.

    Hi @elevas33,

    It’s the same with all scripts and since the site owner must have knowingly added facebook and other scripts, they will know how to find it. There is no way to cover every script in the demo and the reason why google analytics is used to explain this is that it is the most commonly used one.

    You understand that the user who uses these plugins is advanced and most of them don’t even know what’s going on. I’d be happy to pay for the premium version of the plugin but without practical examples it doesn’t give me confidence. Everybody says “and this is where you add the scripts manually” but not one practical example of how you would do with some random script from any random website to know how to add them.. On the Internet there is no tutorial and all give the same answer… “in this section you add the scripts of third parties of the cookies” but not a practical example except analytics.. A greeting.

    I would also like to know this – how do you find the scripts to add to the cookies – do you get it from the view source page?

    Hi @mkaobrih,

    That’s one way of finding the scripts.
