GDPR ready
-
Hi EU-cookie law,
i am using your plugin until now but for gdpr somethings have to change. An option of yes/no has to be offered for consent. I cant do this in your plugin. Any idea when this will be possible.
Also the cookies that visitors dont want to accept must be blocked. Is this possible as well?
Looking forward to your reaction.

To further add to that and clarify – these things are required for GDPR / ePR (or soon will be) – so if these can be done you’ll be miles ahead of any other similar plugins!
1) Visitor should be able to say “no” and the banner goes away (can agree later on via [cookie-control] shortcode is fine).
2) If cookies are accepted that consent needs to be recorded -> username if a logged in user, IP address, date / time etc. Internally in the WP DB is fine.
3) Whilst consent is not required for essential cookies, other types should be selectable- that is, Preferences, Marketing and Statistics cookies. So the banner should allow for those to be selected (and an option to be able to change those selections at any time). The backend would then need to allow for scripts to be tagged
by a dev in some way so the plugin will be able to enable / disable as dictated by the visitor. This will be required at some point in GDPR.Just my 2p’s worth… 🙂
