    Am not sure if it is me or the plugin…Or how this plugin helps achieve GDPR compliance regarding cookie consent.

    On websites of some large businesses I have seen inital consent options for the user to REFUSE the loading of cookie categories.

    This plugin seems only to provide an option for me to provide a link for the user to “withdraw consent”
    How does this work please?

    Hi @gingeralfie,

    The process is not to withdraw consent. It’s to only allow cookies if permission is granted.

    This is for cookies that are being set by your site. If the cookies are set by a third party, you can block them too, but you should also include those as third party cookies and a link to their instructions on how to opt-out. If such instructions don’t exist, link to their privacy policy.

    An example of this would be Vimeo. They set cookies when you play videos. You can register these cookies as being from your site and block them and/or you can register Vimeo and the cookies as third-party and link to Vimeo instructions on how to opt-out of those.

    Services like Google Analytics provide an easy way to opt out with a simple tag but not all of them do that.

    Thank you. All seems to work EXCEPT:
    using Woocommerce Stripe plugin for Apple Pay button
    on individual product pages following cookies get through:
    _stripe_mid
    _stripe_sid
    m.stripe.network
    m.stripe.com
    wp_woocommerce_session_

    Above also happens on other plugins

    Those seem like required cookies to be able to process payment.
    Cookies that are required for the website to function properly are allowed. But you should register those in the plugin in a “Functional Cookies” or whatever you want to call it and set those as required or always active. I don’t remember the words I chose. I will be changing these words soon anyway.
