With the GDPR Cookie consent plugin, you can list out all your cookies of a specific category within the privacy overview pop up window in the following manner as shown in the below image:

Privacy Overview-Cookie List Categorically

You can achieve the above layout for your privacy overview pop-up window by using a simple shortcode as shown below.

Prior to proceeding to the steps detailed below, ensure that your site is scanned for cookies and all the cookies are identified and categorized.

Follow the steps below to obtain the desired pop up layout.

Navigate to the Cookie Category section to insert the shortcode.
Edit the category for which the cookie list has to be displayed as shown below:

GDPR Cookie Consent-Edit Cookie Category

Into the description box of the edit panel, key in with the shortcode

For instance, if you want to list out all the cookies of the category Analytics, then specify the shortcode as shown below:

The privacy policy pop window on expanding the category analytics will be as shown below:

For analytics category, you can specify the shortcode as shown below:

[cookie_audit columns="cookie,description" category="analytics" style="winter"]

The privacy policy pop up window on expanding the category analytics (with two columns only) will be as shown below:

  Hi Nicolas,
  
  You can enable the accept all feature for the accept button from settings(GDPR Cookie Consent > Settings > Customise buttons > Accept button) and it automatically adds a Save and accept button into the settings pop-up.

    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’);
