    I think I managed to check my cookies and there didn’t seem many, I knew what all but 1 was and can’t find what that one is for. now it say to categories them and things like wrap the code. I’m lost. I really need help from someone – anyone… please

    Hi @jackieforsyth,
    Calm down. I got you.

    Can you list me the cookies you are using? Just the names, no need for values.

    gdpr
    Woocommerce
    wp-woocommerse
    and
    wfvt_1805779294

    And I think that is all

    Hi @jackieforsyth,

    From this list, I’d say you can categorize all of them as “Strictly Necessary” and set it to always on.

    The only one I don’t understand is the wfvt cookie.

    This seems to be set by this company http://www.lowcarbon.com/cookie-policy/. In that case, you should get in touch with them to know exactly what is saved in their cookie and then categorize and provide a way to opt out.

    If this is a third-party cookie, you link to their instructions on how to opt-out or at least their privacy policy. However, if this is set by your domain, you need to wrap it in code with one of our helper functions is_allowed_cookie( 'cookie_name' ); In that case, since they append an ID to the cookie name, you can say wfvt_ is the cookie name and the plugin will figure it out for you.

    You can follow examples on how to do this here: http://gdpr-wp.com/knowledge-base/enabling-or-disabling-functionality-based-on-consent-and-cookies/

    Hi Fernando,
    I have done my best but still getting so confused by it all – is there anyway I could just pay someone to check out my site and do it for me.

    I know it is a pain when people like me with absolutely no knowledge or websites try to do our own. I have twice in the past paid to have my website built – the first company put someone else website over mine and said that I had done it, then ignored me and the second used a programme that after two years my host no longer supported. I’m now at the end of my tether.
    I’m only a very small home craft business and I’m sinking fast.
