What is your intended purpose for the “Change your consent” button?

    I am testing your plugin behavior on your own site.
    When I first enter the site I accept all cookies-categories. (why the Preferences and Statistics cookies-categories are pre-selected I don’t understand, but let’s forget about this problem for now)

    Then I want to change my consent with regard to Statistics cookies only, so I go to the Cookies Declaration page and I click on “Change your consent” and I un-check the Statistics checkbox.
    Then I refresh the page, I switch pages, but the _ga and _gid cookies are still there. So I can not change my consent for just one cookies-category. I must withdraw my consent for all cookies-categories first, and only then I have to use the “Change your consent” button to check the categories I want to accept.
    So please explain what is your intended purpose for the “Change your consent” button?
    Is it meant to be used only after using the “Withdraw your consent” button? In that case why don’t you disable it until we withdraw our consent, or why don’t you make clear somehow the purpose of this button?!

    In my opinion, you could use only one link that does both: withdraw the cookie consent and re-opens the consent banner for the user to check the cookie-categories he agrees with:
    <a href="Cookiebot.withdraw(); Cookiebot.renew();">Withdraw cookie consent</a>

    Hi @valdinia

    The Cookiebot.renew() function renews the users consent state. It doesn’t delete the already-set cookies, nor does it prevent javascript that has already been inserted into the DOM, from execution, until a page reload.

    If you wish to have all that, you could declare your own function that calls Cookiebot.withdraw(), Cookiebot.renew() and location.reload();.
