    Hi.
    Using Wordfence and checking cookies generated for an Italian site. Our cookie law is particularly strict with an opt-in option and mandatory block, not opt-out. I found this 3 cookies in particular:
    gridcookie
    wfvt_1722820431
    wordfence_verifiedHuman
    Are they generated by Wordfence and which kind of cookies are they? Technical, profiling or what for? Thank you.

    Two of the cookies are set by Wordfence.

    wfvt_[numbers] is used to determine whether a visit is new or not, for the Live Traffic page.

    wordfence_verifiedHuman is used to determine whether a visit is from a human or a bot/crawler.

    If necessary, you can turn on the option “Disable Wordfence Cookies” near the bottom of the Wordfence options page, to disable the cookies, though some visits on the Live Traffic page may not appear correctly. (If you don’t use the Live Traffic page, you can also disable that using the on/off switch at the top of that page.)

    “gridcookie” must be set by a different plugin — I am not familiar with that one.
