Cookie consent – PP button

    Hello,

    I am using your plugin and Iubenda cookie solution / privacy&cookie policy to be GDPR compliant. I added Paypal button to the privacy and cookies policies but I am wondering if I would need to block the cookies that the PP button sets if a user rejects the consent.
    At the moment, even when a user refuses cookies, two cookies are installed when visiting a page where the button is shown: ts and ts_c. Are these cookies considered strictly necessary under GDPR?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @ruokaonvalmis,

    The plugin does not actually use any cookies at all.

    It did a little research on this and found this page (https://www.alexisdove.com/cookie-policy/). It seems that for tc and ts_c – “This cookie is associated with PayPal and is issued when making a payment via PayPal.”

    So it appears that PayPal is setting it when redirecting. However this is not being caused or set by this plugin.

    I would assume that since PayPal.com is setting the cookie, it would no longer be your responsibility for GDPR and it would be up to PayPal to have their own cookie accept button.

    Feel free to reopen this ticket if I can further help.

    Thanks,
    Scott Paterson
