Should this work with a child theme?

    Hi Leon,

    Even though at this moment I only have a few cookies/trackers on my site t-fabriek.nl (Adoby Typekit, WordPress Stats, Google Analytics), I need some form of cookie consent on my site. I installed Hayona Cookie Consent, have a Google Tag Manager account and inserted the code for that manually in the header.php file of my child theme (based on Twenty Thirteen).
    My site continues to work, but I don’t get any Hayona-banner displayed.
    Questions:
    1) Is your plugin supposed to work with a child theme?
    2) Is DuracellTomi’s plugin required? It seems as though my manual installation of Google Tag Manager-code is working without it.
    3) I added Adobe Typekit-code myself, manually, before I created a GTM-account. So, I have no tracking scripts to add, yet. And WordPress Stats is done via Jetpack, so outside my control. Does that matter.

    Thanks in advance,

    Jeroen Teeuwisse.

    Hi Jeroen,

    Thanks for your message. Again, apologies for the late response. Didn’t see your message until now. Still figuring out a way to get notified by new support questions.

    1. I’ve tested the plugin locally with a Twenty Thirteen child theme. It does work, but you’ll have to reset permissions. You can do this under Settings ? Cookie Consent ? Cookie settings.
    2. It is OK if you install Google Tag Manager manually.
    3. Any script outside of Google Tag Manager will be executed with or without consent. I’m not sure what kind of cookies typekit and jetpack are placing. Things to look for are 3rd party cookies, ip tracking, etc.

    If you have further questions, please let me know.

    Kind regards,
    Leon

    Thanks Leon, resetting permissions does the trick. For the moment I’m using a different plugin for cookie consent, but I might reconsider using Hayona Cookie Consent. It looks nice.
