Cookiebot via GTM

Hi @mhayek83

Thanks for reaching out!

As far as we can tell from your description, you’ve done it right.

You can’t control what your plugins are doing via GTM, so you have to mark up the scripts manually. And from what we can tell you’ve done that.

Please note: If your existing trigger is of the event type “Page View”, you need to change it to event type “Window Loaded” since the visitor’s consent is not available to GTM before the window has loaded.

Does this fix your issue?

Hi Cookiebot team, and thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately changing the event type didn’t work for me. The cookie I try to control becomes always disabled regardless of choice in the banner.

Does language matter? the fact that my site is in Norwegian and that’s also the language I use Cookiebot in? Shouldn’t, right? code is code.

Another question that arises here is: How about widgets? I tried to test this out on another cookie just to be sure, and by coincidence tried NID set by Jetpack contact info widget with an imbedded Google map. As far as I understand, it’s that Google map that results in NID being set. How do I handle those?

I feel like I’m digging such a deep hole with this GDPR business, that I won’t be able to come out of it when/ if done ??

Thanks,
Maria

Can you give us a code example on how you are “tagging” the script that is setting the cookie?

The language does not matter.

We’re are developing an Addon for Jetpack, that can integrate Jetpack and Cookiebot. You can follow the progress at https://github.com/CybotAS/CookiebotAddons – should be finished soon.

Is the Google Map an iframe or a JS call ?

Yes!
1. Went into the report and selected this:
fr facebook.com HTTP 3 months
First found URL: https://www.cottoncandy.no/blogg/
Cookie purpose description: Used by Facebook to deliver a series of advertisement products such as real time bidding from third party advertisers.
Initiator: Script tag, page source line number 280

2. Went to the URL above, view page source and found line 280:
280 <script>
281 fbq(‘init’, ‘917314418431527’, {
The function was a bit above that at line 273:
272 <script type=’text/javascript’>
273 !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
274 n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;

3. Went into my WordPress admin page, plugins –> editor, selected Facebook for Woocommerce, found the exact same function lines in facebook-commerce-pixel-event.php, looked like this:
<script type=’text/javascript’>
!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;

4. Changed the top line there <script type=’text/javascript’>, to <script type=’text/plain’ data-cookieconsent=’marketing’> and saved.

5. Cleared caches, refreshed pages, tried a few times with marketing not selected in the banner, and a few with it selected, and didn’t manage to get the plugin set at all.

Is the Google Map an iframe or a JS call ?
According to the cookiebot report, iframe.

Thanks,
Maria

@mhayek83

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

From what I can see on your site, the “text/plain” part is not added to the function at line 267.

I’ve found the plugin that you are talking about here;

https://github.com/facebookincubator/facebook-for-woocommerce/blob/3c858c9ba535a1c9cf7603ee418e3adc80117c26/facebook-commerce-pixel-event.php

Did you add the modification to line 78 ?

No, I have not. Had no idea I had to. Do I have to? (as I mentioned earlier minimal coding knowledge…).
I have reverted the change on my site since it didn’t work, that’d probably explain why you don’t see it.
What do you suggest I try next then? Apply the change to both line 78 and 22? (Referring to line numbering on github)

Thanks,
Maria

@mhayek83 sorry for the slow response.

Playing around with this specific plugin requires some time, and we are very busy at the moment.

We’ll get back to you as soon as possible and thanks for your understanding.

Alright, I’ll wait. Thank you for your help.

Sorry for the delay. I’ve just tested, and yes, this works. Please try it out.

Since you mentioned that you use Jetpack, we’ve had our coders do a Cookiebot -> Jetpack integration, where the Google Map widget is withheld from showing, until the user gives consent to marketing cookies. There is even a link to change the users consent, with some text saying; please accept marketing cookies to see this map. Right now the text is hardcoded but will be editable later. Take a look at the installation instructions here; https://github.com/CybotAS/CookiebotAddons (push the Clone or Download button -> Download ZIP)

For your convenience, we will soon release this as a WP plugin, that can run side-by-side with Cookiebot. Moreover, we’ll add Facebook for WooCommerce integration there as well, so you wont have to update it manually again.

Sounds awesome! Thanks! That should take care of a big chunk of fickling with code that I was dreading.
I’ll do what you advised in your answer for now and wait for the WP plugin(s).

Thanks again,
Maria
