Regarding cookie mailchimp_landing_site

    Hello!

    I have a cookie that keeps appearing even if you don’t accept cookies. It is this one: mailchimp_landing_site

    It is a result of our plugin Mailchimp for Woocommerce. It has been detected by your plugin, in the cookie scan.

    I don’t really know if this is a tracking cookie or a functional cookie. I asked Mailchimp support but I am still confused. Here is their answer:
    the cookie is used to track ecommerce data via the integration. Basically whenever you have an ecommerce integration connected, then there will be additional cookies on the connected site to track shopper sessions, revenue, abandoned carts etc.

    Questions:
    1) Do you know what kind of cookie this is (marketing or functional)? Why is Complianz not blocking it?

    2) How do I block this cookie so it doesn’t appear before clicking accept?

    Thanks so much!

    Best regards

    Hi @isabella92,

    An integration that disables the “mailchimp_landing_site_” cookie will be included in the next Complianz update (to be released soon). Going by the description of that cookie on CookieDatabase, it’s classified as a “Statistics” cookie: https://cookiedatabase.org/cookie/mailchimp/mailchimp_landing_site/

    If you do not want to wait for this update, you can manually apply the below filter to prevent the cookie from being created:

    function custom_cookie_callback_function($mailchimp_landing_site) {
    return false;
}

add_filter( 'mailchimp_allowed_to_use_cookie', 'custom_cookie_callback_function', 10, 1 );

    Hope it helps!
    Kind regards,
    Jarno
