    Please make sure that no additional characters or HTML codes were added to the shortcode while you copied it. You can check in the TEXT view on top right corner of the input box to see the content without formating.

  Here’s the code:
  
  jQuery(‘#cliSettingsPopup > div > div > div > div > div > div.cli-col-12.cli-align-items-stretch.cli-px-0.cli-tab-section-container > div > div.cli-tab-content > div > table > thead > tr > th.cookielawinfo-column-3’)
  .html(‘Your text’);
  
  I’m not so sure about the #1 customer support thing anymore
