    Hi Fernando,
    Unable to save settings in admin, since version 1.4.3. and 1.4.4.
    Can do it in 1.4.2.

    Can you check if you don’t have any required fields missing content.

    I don’t think so, because when I replace by ftp v1.4.4. with v1.4.2, without changing settings, it works.
    For info, I test on a multisite.

    OK, I had to reorganize my cookies fields and it works.
    But it doesn’t display as I want:

    For instance I wanted to display 3 types of cookies: functionals, performance and third party, with 3 lines on the left tab Cookies settings (frontend)

    Functionals are WordPress ones, always actives.

    Performance are Google Analytics ones, as Third party domain, with link to opt-out.
    Must I fill in again, in Cookies used by site field, all cookies displayed below, in third party?

    For third party it means to fill in third party domain with facebook buttons, youtube and so on.
    Must I compile in this top field all third party cookies displayed below?

    Because the plugin seems not to save settings if I don’t fill in Cookies used by site field, even if I don’t need it.

    Hi @bonaldi

    This happens because I never planned for users to have a third-party category.

    I planned for something like Strictly Necessary, Performance, Marketing, Ads and so on.

    And inside those categories, you would put your third party cookies.

    I understand, but it’s a plan that users do not necessarily understand.
    May be it would be easier to maintain for you, and easier for users to understand the plugin, to program a single hook which would include a block in which we could choose if, by block, we need to display à link to third party privacies, a button on/off, a cookies list, a text description and so on.
    It’s a reflexion track, of course.

    I understand.

    This whole section is being reworked for V2 anyways. I want to make it easier for users to understand and more accessible.

    I’m thinking about locking cookies to a predetermined set of categories. Like “Necessary, Statistics, Marketing, Other”.

    Let me know what you think.

    I propose to merge cookies and consents in an unique block (backend).
    Today, there are 2 tabs in admin settings, each one with add buttons options.
    I think, may be, it would be easier to have an universal block you could add with a button. As many times as needed.
    For instance you could create a

    • first block with following settings:
      Title: Consents
      A first block line for Social buttons, with button on/off and description field.
      A second block line for embeded videos, with button on/off and description field.
      A third block line for third party statistics, with button on/off and description field.
    • second block with following settings:
      Title: Cookies
      A first block line for Necessary, no button, with description field.
      A second block line for third party statistics, with cookies list, button on/off, link to Third Party privacies and description field.

    You can see that someone who want to give possibility to consent to Third Party Statistics can do it, but if he wants only give a link, he can.
    Actually, the problem is the obligation to fill in some fields the user don’t need.

    A drawing would be more speaking I guess… ??

    A drawing would be nice, but I think got the idea though.
