Hello there. I am client of yours. Two questions and one proposal if I may:
Questions first:
1. In the Consent Report in many entries in the Cookie Details column I just see:
viewed_cookie_policy : yes
ccpaOptout : false
Does this mean that the user did not select anything?
2. Many users are coming to our site from google ads. They land on the first page but due to GDPR when they land all the scripts are de-activated by default. Does this mean that all these visits from Google Ads will NOT be reported at all within google analytics? Only if a user has clicked YES before and then re-clicks an ad the re-lands into the site then ONLY THEN will be shown as a user/session within google analytics? Is this correct? Please elaborate – I think it will be very useful to other clients fo yours as well…
Proposal:
1. Most of our users click NO to GDPR. But the Consent Report as it is does not offer us the ability to see statistics. Like how many users clicked yes, how many No, to which cookies etc. To do that we have to go inside the WP DB itself, export the table, de-serialize the last column and then perform an analysis. I think it would be INCREDIBLY USEFUL if we could do actions on the Consent Report like export it to xlsx or a google sheet and perform statistics queries on it like how many users clicked yes, how many clicked no etc…
Many thanks in advance

Hello Ermioni Katsouta,
Thanks for reaching out. According to the article mentioned here, there may be some cookies displayed in addition to viewed_cookie_policy in your cookie list. These cookies correspond to each category and are set by default. If a visitor consents to a particular category such as “Analytics,” the “cookie law info-checkbox-analytics” will be marked as “Yes,” indicating consent. A “yes” will appear in the consent report for the Analytics category. The ccpa_optout is only recorded for the CCPA banner, and a “false” status indicates that the user has not confirmed the “Do not sell my personal information” link. It’s important to ensure that your site has cookie categories with cookies assigned to each category. To simplify the process, perform a cookie scan on your site to automatically assign cookies to the appropriate category.
If the script blocker in the plugin is properly configured, Google Ads and Analytics scripts will run once consent is received from the visitor. Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions. We’re here to help you!

I am unable to find the ‘cookie category’ on the menu dropdown on a multi-region WordPress installation. I am instead given two categories of ‘non-necessary’ and necessary.
Please can you advise!

Hi Adam,

Are you sure you are using our latest version? If so please go to the cookie scanner and check if you are having a migrate button. Click on the migrate button to have a cookie category menu in the list.

Hi there,
How can I ensure the cookie bar is included early in the DOM – as a keyboard user, the user is having to tab through the entire website before they can choose their cookie preferences and ideally this would be the first thing they interact with on entering the site.
Thanks

We are trying to improve the accessibility option in our plugin. The tab keys are working currently as you explained. We will bring an update to it in the future. This has been added to our backlogs.

I’m having a problem with the [cookie_settings] shortcode on our polylang-enabled site. On German-language pages [cookie_settings] displays a link/button to the settings panel as expected. On English-language pages however, [cookie_settings] displays a link/button to that brings up a popup with the privacy_overview_content message. The cookie consent bar is showing the same behaviour.

Hi @Hagen,
As we checked your site, We noticed that you have not completed the translation for cookies and cookie categories. So, please go to GDPR Cookie Consent > Cookie List and translate cookies. Similarly, go to the Cookie Category and translate categories.

When starting the cookie scanner I entered a wrong mail address for registering with CookieYes and I can’t find a way to correct it. I searched the database to no avail. Where is this setting hidden?
Hagen

I found it by doing a search across the whole database… it’s option_name wt_cli_cookieyes_options in the table wp_options. I corrected the mail address there and the scan has alreayd finished :-). Thanks for this great and very flexible plugin, it’s really easy to use and configure and has exactly the options I need.

Hi, I used to have a site in a development environment and have recently changed the URL to the live one. However, when I try to run the cookie scanner, it comes back as saying “your report for is ready” …
I did a full search for the old url on the database and go no hits. I also disconnected and connected the cookie scanner , without results.
Any idea how to change this?
Tks, Vasco

If a user does not interact with the plugin i.e. does not accept or reject the footer version of the popup. Will the user’s data still be collected by Google Analytics/Google Tag Manager etc… i.e. will they only stop being tracked if they explicitly choose not to be tracked?
Mark
August 25, 2021
Hi Craig,
With the right configuration, the Ga/Gtag tracking will be done only after explicit consent is given. If they ignore the banner, they won’t be tracked.

Hi Webtoffee,
Great looking plugin.
I am using the free version and was wondering if there is a limit to how many “Category default states” you can set to ENABLED. As I have two set to ENABLED and have purged my WordPress sites cache and also Google Chromes browser cache (including all cookies) yet they are still showing as Disabled when I use on my site.
Please advise.
Kind Regards
Julian

July 25, 2021
Hi Julian,
There are no such limitations in the plugin. Kindly check if you caching at server side and clear accordingly.

Hi Mark,
Is there a limit to the number of pages that the free version scans? When I installed it, it only came up with about 16 cookies on my site, whereas another service found 38. I know that my site has more than 100 subpages, so could that be the problem and would the Premium version solve that?

Our GDPR plugin will indeed work on both mobile and desktop versions. Please check in an incognito window if you have clicked accept once on the banner. If issue persists, please reach us via the support page.

Hi Mark,
I can also confirm that it does *not* seem to work in the Chrome browser on a desktop. Whereas it does work on a mobile device. PC has every option DISABLED and on mobile device is shows correctly with both ENABLED and DISABLED set.
Kind Regards,

As such it is surely a caching issue. Please check as mentioned in the previous comment.

Hi Wong,
If you are using Chrome, open developer console > go to applications tab > Click on Cookies and select you site domain name. Please check if you have set a cookie named ‘viewed_cookie_policy’ and if the value is yes, you have clicked accept. If you haven’t yet accepted or rejected, there won’t be such a cookie present. You can check the site again by opening it in private window.
