Law 25’s exemption for public bodies, YouTube embeds, and granular opt-out

Hello,

I’m a contractor working for a federal organization in Canada, and am attempting to help them set up basic Analytics on some of their websites using GTM. We’re using staging sites for this so we can work out any problems. After reading into Quebec’s Law 25, I found that there’s an exemption in that law for “public bodies” like them. Instead they apparently only have to comply with PIPEDA’s opt-out regulations instead of Law 25’s opt-in regulations.

There is no option in your setup Wizard to say that we have visitors in Quebec but that we’re also an exempt public body. As a workaround I tried changing the Wizard setting for Quebec targeting to “no” instead of “yes”. Doing this gets rid of the category-level acceptance or denial prompts, and instead just shows one large “Accept” button.

In short, we’d like to essentially to have the same popup result as the “Quebec=yes” opt-in choice, just with optional cookies set to on by default.

The goals:

• Keep the “Accept/Deny/Preferences” button options. There being no explicit “Deny” button is a problem in particular. The “Deny” option should have equal visual prevalence to “Accept” because we want users able to explicitly revoke consent and not feel coerced.
• Show essential/functional cookies as “Always active”.
• Show statistics and marketing cookie categories as both granular and able to be rejected but have them each turned on by default (or at least just statistics turned on by default).
• Denial of marketing consent should also probably cause a page reload to prevent YouTube from loading its iFrame, just like what happens when the Wizard is using the “Quebec=yes” opt-in setting.

Can I please either get this added as an update, or just get some guidance on how I would have to alter this plugin’s files to achieve the Wizard’s “Quebec=yes” result but with the small changes described?

If not I’ll suggest we choose one of the two existing options this plugin has (probably the more strict Law 25 one vs the more lax PIPEDA one), but neither of the current options are actually correct for this situation.

Thanks in advance
