Hide the Cookie Bar on Selected Pages Using GDPR Cookie Consent Plugin

Last updated on May 8, 2023

The following code snippet allows you to hide the cookie bar created by GDPR Cookie Consent (CCPA Ready) plugin on selected pages of the website or any wildcard URL entry. Simply add the code snippet to the active child theme function.php and enter the slug of the pages in the array() function on which you want to hide the cookie bar.

    Hi! How can I make it so it *only* appears on the pages (slugs) I specify?

    I tried this but it didn’t work:


    function webtoffee_custom_selected_pages($html, $slug) {

    $slug_array = array('manage-cookies');
    if (!in_array($slug, $slug_array)) {
    $html = '';
    return $html;
    }

    // For wild card URL entry
    foreach ($slug_array as $slug_ar) {
    if (strpos($slug_ar, '*') !== false) {

    if (fnmatch($slug_ar, $slug)) {
    $html = '';
    return $html;
    }
    }
    }

    return $html;
    }

    Huh, I add this to my themes functions.php with my page slug and nothing happens. The page still displays the cookie consent bar.

    What is this part about the “active child theme” – does it not work directly on themes functions.php?

      Hi Joonas,

      The code will work even if added in the theme’s functions.php. Please submit a ticket here with site URL.

    This is to disable and NOT hide the bar as we still need it on the privacy page.

    How can you hide for a specific page but still use a shortcode to show the popup?

      Hi Dean,

      I am afraid currently this is the only filter we have regarding this usage.Sorry to let you down.

      I agree.
      Using this or the setting on the cookie link button is problematic.
      Users can’t read the privacy page from the link if they don’t agree or decline before.
      Or if we hide it on the page, shortcode to change settings in the privacy page (which is the logical page to put them) don’t works.
      We need a way to minimize or hide on specific page (like privacy page) without disabling it.

      Here is a sample code for pages ‘sample-page’ and ‘shop’.

      add_filter('cli_show_cookie_bar_only_on_selected_pages', 'webtoffee_custom_selected_pages', 10, 2);
      function webtoffee_custom_selected_pages($html, $slug) {
      $slug_array = array('sample-page', 'shop');
      if (in_array($slug, $slug_array)) {
      $html = '';
      return $html;
      }
      // For wild card URL entry
      foreach ($slug_array as $slug_ar) {
      if (strpos($slug_ar, '*') !== false) {
      if (fnmatch($slug_ar, $slug)) {
      $html = '';
      return $html;
      }
      }
      }
      return $html;
      }

      Hi Samantha,

      The code already supports wild card entry. Please see the second portion of the code.

    If I use that code snippet I get javascript errors on pages without the cookie bar
    TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘this.settings.showagain_tab’)
    TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘textBlock.html().length’)

    What do I have to do?

    Hello,
    I’m sorry but it is complicated for me to use the php code.
    I know that I have to go to my Editor menu and select the functions.php but I don’t know which slug of page I have to add in order to delete the cookie law text from the error page regarding the post considered as spam.

    Could you please help me more to solve this issue. I will add my website url in the field requested.
    The issue happens when we clik on an article and someone click on send your message without completing the fields requested.

    Thank you.
