Thank you! I’m so sorry, I’m a little thick…

… that doesn’t answer my general question with how I should use the plugin’s consent management section.

There are 4 fields: name, required, description, message.

Currently, the user is required to consent to the Privacy Policy. I get that.
You’re also saying that I should handle form-level consent at the form. You also said that google analytics should be consented to, but I thought that was handled in the cookies section?

So, I’m not understanding how to use this section appropriately. If the point is to track consent, then my intuition says that form-level consent should be on this section somehow. If you could provide a couple of examples that demonstrate how you would use the section for a realistic client, it would be very helpful.

Thank you!

Some clarification if you can.

I followed the instructions to identify and categorize my cookies. I then added those cookie categories and entered which cookies fall under each category. Let’s say I created 3 categories, one is strictly necessary, analytics and user experience.

1) What does that toggle “Always Active” do?
2) Does the plugin automatically give the visitor the option to disable the cookie categories I’ve now created or do I have to build a form that updates that information? Not entirely clear here.
3) Do you have a recommended workflow for correctly and completely implementing the plugin? By that I mean, it’s unclear to me (after installing and activating the plugin) the set of tasks that are required to implement the full functionality in the plugin and determine if it is working as it should be.
4) Not really clear how to correctly implement consent management. If you have a contact form on your contact page (and that’s the only place where name/email are collected), does the plugin ask the visitor to consent when they hit anywhere on your site or just the contact page? And if I understood the documentation, it says that we’re supposed to remove the contact form entirely if they don’t consent?

I understand you’re super busy and helping others, so I’m grateful for whatever time you can spare to help me understand this process.

Cheers,

Thank you!

I’m going to be diving deeper into your answers shortly. I will turn on debugging and reply shortly.

I have another question. I notice that you are storing the GDPR info in the user-meta table. I’d like to setup zapier to fire triggers when rows in a MySQL Database>Table are modified, specifically, if a user requests to download their data or close their account. Is there any data that you store in user-meta table that I can use to detect those two cases?

Again, a HUGE THANK YOU for this plugin. I hope everyone is feverishly donating to you!! I will ASAP.
