Positioning of cleantalk cookie-setting script

  • Resolved adz1111

    Hi

    I use cookiebot – and one of its excellent features disables all cookies when a visitor first comes to the site, only enabling them AFTER the visitor gives appropriate cookie consent. However, this doesn’t apply to any cookies marked as “necessary” (which I have done for the cleantalk cookies). So for cleantalk, this will be perfectly okay.

    However, the cookiebot script MUST be the very first script on a page for that feature to work – OR – for the cookie script (e.g. cleantalk’s) to have the ‘data-cookieconsent=”ignore” ‘ attribute, e.g:

    <script type='text/javascript' data-cookieconsent='ignore'>
   function ctSetCookie___from_backend(c_name, value) 
      {document....
</script>

    Now, I could probably find that script definition and add that attribute myself, however, whenever you guys update the plugin that will be overwritten. So my question is, what can I (or you guys) do to overcome that, please?

    The easiest, from my perspective, is maybe under the plugin’s advanced settings to provide a field where I could (optionally) add a script attribute like: data-cookieconsent=’ignore’, which then gets added to all cleantalk scripts,

    AND/OR,

    Maybe allow the position of any cleantalk scripts to adjusted – e.g top of head tag, bottom of head tag, top of footer tag, bottom of footer tag – so I can make sure it’s after the cookiebot script.

    Many thanks.

    Hello,

    I think i will be more apropriate to make this:

    Hi there

    I have done that but notice no difference. What should I be seeing?

    Secondly, should I have checked the very last option, “complete deactivation” in Advanced Settings (before deactivating) to delete all data first?

    Thanks

    We’ve added the attribute you want to each script attachment and inline script.

    Hi

    Nope – can’t see any new attribute added (plugin version unchanged too) – this is the start of the script that shows…

    <script type=’text/javascript’ >function ctSetCookie___from_backend(c_name….

    Did you see my second point, is that required?

    Thanks

    Did you try to refresh the page with CTRL+F5?

    (@adz1111)

    Yes – and cleared all the browser and page caches and CDNs – you can see for yourself if you visit the site (https://elixirweb.studio).

    You’ve not answered about the second point I made earlier – did I need to have wiped all the data via the Advanced Settings BEFORE deactivating?

    Usually, it’s not required. Could you try to do this if nothing helps?

    Ok – tried that too – again no noticeable difference. Again by all means check the page source on my home page (around line 7).

    You’re sure you sent me the modified plugin (the version is still 5.146.1)?

    We will check this. We will contact you within 24h

    Hello,

    Add a new fix. Version is 5.146.2. Please, use CTRL + F5 before you the check.
    The link and instruction is the same:

    Please, reinstall the plugin. ( Download link: https://github.com/CleanTalk/wordpress-antispam/releases/download/dev-version/cleantalk-spam-protect.zip )

    Hi,

    Right – uploaded newer version.

    Cleared CDN, browser cache, page cache etc. Loaded home page and did CTRL+F5, plus also tried https://elixirweb.studio/?nocache – script still looks unchanged to me I’m afraid? See screenshot:

    I’m presuming, if working, I would see the attribute added in the highlighted bit?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Version is correct but looks like the cache is breaking new script tags. See the screenshot for our test website: https://skr.sh/i/011020/7WdH64Ff

    I can suggest that it’s the CDN. All necessary code is in the plugin.

    Hi

    Okay – I see it in your image – however that is not what I see on my site.

    To make sure it’s not a conflict I have deactivated all plugins, except yours, and activated the twenty-twenty theme – this is what I get: https://share.yourscope.co.uk/kpuwovw0

    There is no cache or CDN in play in the above scenario?
