Questions the author answers
Why backend cookies? (ITP >= 2.1)
Most Cookie Banner plugins set javascript cookies. In Safari and Firefox these cookies have a short lifetime, even if the cookie is set with an very long expiration date.
Consequence: Your user have to opt in every seven days again. And sees the banner every seven days. Which is kind of annoying.
With this Plugin the consent cookie stays save and is not limited in lifetime. If you use the option.
How to remove tab at the bottom?
Just go to Settings > Cookie Consent Banner > Consent Management and uncheck the checkbox “Show ‘Cookie Settings’ tab”
Does this plugin have a setting for blocking scripts or cookies until acceptance?
Yes. With the premium add-on (beautiful-cookie-banner.com) you can enable autoblocking. But be aware: there is no 100% guarantee that this will always work. As this is heavily dependent from your wordpress installation.
How should I organize my trackingscripts and cookies?
The technical recommandation is to use the google tag manager. It is an awesome and free tagmanager. Since version 2.2 this plugin natively supports it. But as always: check if it is legal to use it in your jurisdication☝️.
I have a custom template and want to modify the cookie message. How?
You can use the filter hook “nsc_bar_cookie_bar_message” in your plugin or theme.
