Policy generator options

Hi @robmcp,

The [user_consent_state] shortcode displays the current state of user consent if the user interacted with the banner. It also displays the link to change the consent. There is no option to change anything regarding the shortcode.

Thanks for the FAST reply.

I am still confused though.

On my test, I use the Read More link to navigate to /cli-policy-preview/ page. On that page I see the following.

Your current state: No consent given. Manage your consent. << this is a link, but does nothing.

How does a user set either No consent given, or consent given? If I select ACCEPT, and refresh the page I still see, No consent given.
Thanks.

Hi @robmcp,

Please share your site URL so that we can have a look.

staging site Read More links here

Hi @robmcp,

Can you try excluding that page from caching and see if that makes a difference?

It’s on staging, there should be no caching. Could you explain what, if anything that “Manage your consent” link does?

(Also Unrelated (What was the fix for where 1.9.1 said it was interfering with DIVI builder? ) The change doc did not elaborate. Thsnk.

Hi @robmcp,

Manage your consent link will show the banner again even if the user has once accepted or rejected the policy so that they can change the consent.

As a part of the script blocking, we are manually calling the ‘DOMContentLoaded’ event after all the script has been unblocked and this conflicted with the Divi plugin. So we have disabled it in the latest update.

Sorry, did not follow the prev answer. I updated to version 1.9.3.
Should this have made any difference?

Clicking the “Manage your consent” still appears to do nothing. (Incog mode tried)

Can you say if Clicking the “Manage your consent” should do anything? It is configured as a link element, but I can find no information on making it do any action.

Hi @robmcp,

It looks like the script for the shortcode is not present in your site. To make it work, please add the below code to your theme’s functions.php

add_action('wp_footer', 'manage_user_consent_jsblock', 11);
function manage_user_consent_jsblock() {
	?>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		jQuery(document).ready(function(){
			jQuery('.cli_manage_current_consent').on('click',function(){
				jQuery('#cookie-law-info-again').click();
				setTimeout(function(){
					if( jQuery('#cookie-law-info-bar').length > 0) {
						jQuery(window).scrollTop(jQuery('#cookie-law-info-bar').offset().top);
					}
				},1000);
			});
		});
	</script>
	<?php
}

Thanks, will test that now.

Code added, the Manage your consent still does not appear to do anything. What have I missed?

Hi @robmcp,

We checked the page source and it looks like that code too hasn’t reflected in the site.

Try modifying the value ’11’ in first line in the code to something below 10 and see if that makes a difference. If that too doesn’t work try changing the ‘wp_footer’ in the same line to ‘wp_head’.

Let us know how it goes.

Code removed and added again, (paste error !)
The Manage your consent link, now moves the page down and displays

Is that a correct action now?

I now see this

Your consent applies to the following domains: mystaging-site.com
Your current state: No consent given. Manage your consent.

If I select the manage your consent link, I get the Cookie footer popup that will allow me to disable ONLY non neccessary cookies, fair neough, however the message next to the link ALWAYS says

Your current state: No consent given

regardless.
I hate to labour a point but is there a way that No consent ever changes?
