Block Necessary Cookies from loading

Hi @dklein,

To block all cookies, you may please move all scripts that set cookies in the site to the Non-necessary Cookie settings.

Thank you for your response. I see that the requirement for the Necessary cookies has changed on October 1 per ECJ. Is there a way that your team can update the Necessary cookies to have a box that can be checked by the user rather than just a default without the option to change it? Please see the article. If you get the chance can you skim the article linked below? Thank you very much for your time! https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=3f3fc165-aeb8-4d03-8f56-624b4e5ba148

Keep in mind I see this does not reflect the requirements for GDPR on the actual GDPR site though I understand that updates sometimes take time. Here is a link to that: https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ Again, thank you very much for your time and I hope this helps you and your team! Love your plugin!

How do I move all scripts to the Non-Necessary Cookie Settings????

Hi @dklein,

In the article you shared, it only mentions that the prechecked box cannot be used for cookies set for advertising purposes. Necessary cookies generally constitute the basic cookies without which the site won’t even function correctly and for that, a prechecked box can be used.

On October 1,2019 the European Court of Justice ruled that website operators cannot obtain consent to the setting of cookies for advertising purposes by ticking an already checked box (Judgment of October 1,2019, Rs C-673/17).

Refer the below line from the GDPR site.

To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must:

> Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary
cookies.

Incidentally, the website, https://www.lexology.com, also uses a prechecked box for strictly necessary cookies.

To move the scripts, you need to copy the scripts of such cookies from theme to our plugin. Also, ensure to remove them from them once copied.

Thank you for getting back to me! Where in the plugin do I put the cookie functions? I don’t see a section for that. Thank you for your help!
