[Plugin: Cookillian] Not working with these plugins

Hi,

Both set cookies via JavaScript.

Google Analytics will set cookies within the same domain as your website, so they will be caught with the Scrub Cookies option under the Advanced Settings header, albeit not immediately (a delay of 500ms after the cookie was created).

A better way of dealing with Google Analytics, is to add the JavaScript provided by Google in the JavaScript Footer area of Cookillian.

As for share buttons, these are cookies that are created on their own domain (outside your website, considered 3rd party cookies). These cannot be automatically handled by Cookillian and will require other methods, for example using the Cookillian API. Unfortunately, this would require some coding.

@myatu, I don’t mind some coding ??
Can you telle me how to do it?

Currently these cookies are placed, whether visitors opt-in, opt-out or ignore the warning.

The hope is that Facebook, Twitter, etc., will address the cookie issue on their end. YouTube has already done so a while ago with the “enhanced privacy” option, which does not set cookies when embedded on a website.

But I have posted an entry called “Cookillian and JavaScript” on my site, that gives an idea of how to use the Cookillian API to selectively add a JavaScript-enabled Tweet button. The same can be applied to the Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ buttons.

The only “issue” is how/when to add this code. If you know how to edit the theme, then you may find it easier to add it within the_loop. A good place to start, is by looking at the Twenty Eleven theme, particularly the content and content-single.php files. You would be able to add the JavaScript for the buttons within the <footer>.
