 * The grey/blue toggle button for Cookie categories does not make it clear for 
   uses what it does. ie is it enabling or disabling those cookies in the category
   list?

 * Hi [@voodoochill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/voodoochill/)
 * I’m sorry if that isn’t clear enough for you. I thought that something that is
   gray and something that has color would be a great indicator that something is
   on or off.
 * It is supposed to allow or disallow the cookies listed.
 * I will be making some changes to this to make it more accessible and easy to 
   understand.

 * I know what you mean, but I sometimes see options on sites like “Tick to disable”
   or “bypass so and so” (not talking about cookies here).
 * So I wonder if “On” is switching on the preference for disablement of the cookies.
 * Maybe it’s just me…

 * The blue switch is ON in the sense of “Allow this cookie to be set”

 * [@voodoochill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/voodoochill/) No, it doesn’t
   enable/disable cookies out of the box.
    You need to adapt you theme with [functions](https://gdpr-wp.com/knowledge-base/enabling-or-disabling-functionality-based-on-consent-and-cookies/)
