Consent Mode for analytics-only and ad personalization denied in WordPress

  • Hi everyone,

    I’m having an issue with the cookie configuration on my WordPress website and I hope someone can help.Context

    I’m using the Pressidium Cookie Consent plugin to manage cookie consent on my website. The default configuration (On-page Default) has only analytics_storage set to Granted and the rest as Denied (GTM configuration). However, after the user accepts the cookies (On-page Update and Current State), all categories of cookies are shown as Granted.

    What I need

    I’m only interested in analytics data and do not want other types of cookies to be automatically activated after the user accepts the cookies. Specifically, I do not want cookies related to ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization to be enabled.

    Current Configuration

    • On-page default (the configuration comes from google tag manager):
      • analytics_storage: Granted
      • ad_storage: Denied
      • ad_user_data: Denied
      • ad_personalization: Denied
      • functionality_storage: Denied
      • personalization_storage: Denied
      • security_storage: Denied
    • On-page Update and Current State:
      • Everything is shown as Granted after the user accepts the cookies.

    Question

    How can I configure the Pressidium Cookie Consent plugin so that only analytics_storage remains Granted after the user accepts the cookies, and the rest continue to be Denied?

    I have reviewed the plugin settings but haven’t found a way to do this correctly. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey, @webscat!

    As you pointed out, setting the default to “Denied” will only affect the consent value prior to user accepting a category.

    Here’s the mapping we use between our plugin’s cookie categories and GCM’s consent types:

    • Necessary: functionality_storage and security_storage
    • Preferences: personalization_storage
    • Analytics: analytics_storage
    • Targeting: ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization

    Thus, if a user accepts the Necessary, Preferences, and/or Targeting cookie categories — either by selecting them individually or by accepting all at once — the corresponding GCM consent types will be marked as “Granted”.

    If you haven’t listed any cookies in the “Cookies” tab for the Necessary, Preferences, or Targeting categories, enabling the “Hide empty categories” setting in the “General” tab will hide these categories from the cookie settings modal, preventing them from being accepted.

    However, if cookies are present, the behavior you described may not be possible with the current plugin version. Please let us know if this is the case, and we can consider it as a feature in future updates.
