Some questions about cookie consent.

    Hi,

    I have been using the cookie before the GPRD requirements without any problem. I now have to use the “GPRD version”. After many tests, I come with some questions:

    1. Pushing the “OK” button leads to the appearance of a new cookie “cookie-notice-accepted” set on “true” and the disappearance of the notice bar. Does that mean that all (functional and third party) cookings are accepted?

    2. Pushing the “NO” button leads to the appearance of a new cookie “cookie-notice-accepted” set on “false” and the disappearance of the notice bar. Does that mean that all only functional cookings are accepted?

    3. For google analytics I added the Google analytic “global site tag” to the script area

    Regardless of pushing 1 or 2, the same cookies appear in the browser bar (i)→more→show cookies and the _ga, gid, gat cookies are not listed (I understand they should when pushing button “yes”.

    4. When pushing “NO” no revoke button appears and the notice bar simply disappears thus revoking consent is impossible. The bar can be brought back however by removing the “cookie-notice-accepted” from the browser bar. Then another choice is possible. Is this a valid option and will the new choice been taken into account? I do not have the feeling it works. Could the browser cache cause problems?

    5. Is it possible to revoke consent but also to revoke no-consent (for example if I refuse Google analytics but decide later it is OK?)

    My browser: firefox 60.0.1 (latest)

    Thanks a lot for help.

    Hi

    OK 1, 2 and 3 solved. For the system to operate correctly I had to disable the adblocker.
    Questions 4 and 5 remain.

    4 and 5 are now solved as well. Provided the ad blocker is disabled it is possible to show the notice bar by disabling the “cookie-notice-accepted” cookie from the browser bar (in firefox) and make a new choice. One can see the change in the list of cookies (in my case with or without _GA cookies.
    Of course it is possible to go from consent to no consent or the opposite.
    I could not see the revoke button but this is not important as the above method is OK for my needs.
    So to conclude: a very good and simple plugin which helps complying with the GDPR requirements

    Hi fermanus, I still don’t get what happens when you click on “Accept Cookies”, and what happens when you click on “Decline”.

    Are all cookies accepted / loaded when we click the Accept button?

    And viceversa, are they blocked when we click “Decline cookies”?

    Thanks for your inputs,

    Hi,

    Please have a look at the more recent post “Refuse cookies functionality” started by dlwnz. I think that explains everything.

    Briefly:
    1. Are all cookies accepted / loaded when we click the Accept button? YES

    2. And viceversa, are they blocked when we click “Decline cookies”? YES and NO: only third party cookies (GA analytics and the like) whose script has been added to the “script field” and removed from all other places in the site will be blocked. All other cookies will not.

    Hope it helps

    Excellent I get it now, thanks!
