 * Hello,
   I have a very small inline script that pulls some data from the page and
   passes it into a form (product id, sku, etc.) if the consent is denied, the inline
   script is switched from text/javascript type to text/plain; I was not able to
   find in any documentations (Here or on github) a way to make this a necesary/
   skip section.Thank you!

 * Hi [@rwky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwky/)!
   FAZ blocks scripts by 
   scanning the page HTML and matching script tags against a database of known trackers
   and cookie providers. If your inline script contains a string that matches a 
   known provider pattern — for example a tracking variable like `fbq(` or `gtag(`—
   FAZ will block it even if the script itself is not a tracker.Here is a typical
   example of the problem. Say you have a product configuration script like this:
   FAZ might block this script because the text “facebook.com” or “youtube.com” 
   appears inside it, even though the script is just passing data — it is not running
   any Facebook or YouTube tracker code at all.There are two ways to resolve this.
   OPTION A — WHITELIST THE SCRIPT BY ID (works right now)Step 1 — Add an id to 
   your inline script tag:Step 2 — Add that id to the FAZ exception list.Go to FAZ
   Cookie Manager → Settings → Script Blocking. You will see a textarea called “
   Script Blocking Exceptions”. Add the id you chose, one per line:my-product-configSave
   the settings.How the field works: patterns without dots or slashes are matched
   against the script’s id and class attributes. Patterns with dots or slashes (
   e.g. googleapis.com/maps) are URL fragments matched against the src attribute
   instead. Since your script has no src, a bare id handle is the correct format.
   Step 3 — Clear your cache.If you are running a caching plugin (LiteSpeed Cache,
   WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, etc.), clear the full page cache after saving. FAZ’s
   blocking runs in PHP during page generation — cached pages will not reflect the
   new exception until the cache is invalidated.After clearing the cache, reload
   the page: the script should now execute normally.OPTION B — WAIT FOR THE NEXT
   FAZ RELEASE (will fix the root cause automatically)A fix for this class of false
   positives is already merged and will ship in the next FAZ release. The change:
   URL-fragment patterns (e.g. facebook.com, youtu.be) will only match against a
   script’s src attribute, never against inline text content. Code-level tracking
   signatures (fbq(, gtag(, _gaq) will still match inline content as before.If your
   script is being blocked because it references a tracker domain inside data (not
   because it actually runs tracker code), updating FAZ when the next version is
   out will resolve the false positive automatically — no whitelist entry needed.
   The same release will also rename the Settings field from “Whitelisted URL Patterns”
   to “Script Blocking Exceptions” with a clearer description explaining that script
   IDs and handles are accepted alongside URL fragments.IF YOU CANNOT MODIFY THE
   SCRIPT TAGIf the script is rendered by a third-party plugin and you cannot add
   an id attribute, try injecting it via your theme’s functions.php:add_filter( ‘
   script_loader_tag’, function( $tag, $handle ) {if ( $handle === ‘your-plugin-
   handle’ ) {return str_replace( ‘<script ‘, ‘<script id=”my-product-config” ‘,
   $tag );}return $tag;}, 10, 2 );Note: this filter only applies to scripts enqueued
   via wp_enqueue_script(). Truly raw inline scripts echoed directly in a template
   cannot be intercepted this way — in that case, look for a plugin hook or edit
   the template directly.Let me know what your script looks like and I can confirm
   which approach applies to your case!

 * [@fabiodalez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabiodalez/) thanks for the
   response, I added a class to my inline script and noted it in the “whitelist 
   url patterns” section, was not sure it will work but it was the only one that
   was near your steps and now it works properly!
   I think there is a need for updates
   on the naming and description, I was not able to figure it out so easily as the
   naming and description do not properly state what it does.also as a suggestion,
   please add a “faz-skip” class or something similar for easily global implementation.
   thank you

 * Glad you got it working — and thank you for the clear feedback. The field name“
   Whitelisted URL Patterns” only hints at URLs, so figuring out that a bare class
   name works there is not obvious at all.
 * Good news: the naming and description have already been updated in the next release.
   The field will be renamed “Script Blocking Exceptions” and the description will
   explicitly list the three types of values it accepts — URL fragments (with dots
   or slashes), script id attributes, and CSS class names — with a concrete example
   for each. No one should have to guess anymore.
 * On your suggestion for a faz-skip class: i like it and I’m going to implement
   it. The idea is that adding class=”faz-skip” to any script tag will always exclude
   it from blocking — no settings page required, no whitelist entry needed. Something
   like:
 * <script class=”faz-skip”>
   // this script will never be blocked by FAZ, regardless
   of its content
 * This is a zero-configuration escape hatch for developers: add the class in your
   theme or plugin template, done. It also makes the intent explicit right in the
   HTML source — anyone reading the markup immediately knows the script is intentionally
   excluded.
 * I’ll document it in the Script Blocking section of the settings page so future
   users see it before they go looking for the whitelist.
 * Thanks again for the suggestion — this will save a lot of people the same confusion.

 * Just a quick follow-up: FAZ Cookie Manager 1.13.16 is now available in the WordPress
   plugin directory.
 * This version ships the native faz-skip class I mentioned in my previous reply.
   You no longer need the whitelist workaround — you can add class=”faz-skip” directly
   to any script tag and FAZ will leave it completely untouched.
 * If you want to switch, just add faz-skip to the script’s class attribute and 
   remove it from the whitelist. Either approach works fine going forward, so there
   is no need to change anything if the whitelist is already working for you.
 * Thanks again for the patience and for helping me test this. Glad it is working!
