    Hi, plugin works with all the site cookies, but the pll_language. This cookie is activated also if user do not choose to activate any cookie.

    I do not want to exclude this cookie at all, I would like just to give a choice to user. How can I block it together with other cookies?

    The Polylang plugin developer give this unswer:

    Let say that it’s the case and that this cookie is named cookies_accepted. Something like:

    add_action( 'plugins_loaded', function() {
  if ( empty( $_COOKIE['cookies_accepted'] ) ) {
    define( 'PLL_COOKIE', false );
  }
}, 0 );

    should do the trick.
    The code must be put in a plugin. It would not work in a theme.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    The plugin has a built in function to check if the consent was given and it should be enough to change this line:
    if ( empty( $_COOKIE['cookies_accepted'] ) ) {

    to this:
    if ( ! cn_cookies_accepted() ) { // if cookies are not accepted

    But please take into account that from the legal point of view you don’t really need to exclude that cookie. This is a first party cookie from a self hosted functionality.

    Up to you 😉
