Manually enable prior consent

Attention: This article has been made before the launch of the automatic cookie blocking feature. Of course you can still use manual cookie blocking. To correctly implement Cookiebot on your website, and manually mark up cookie-setting scripts, follow the steps below.

To enable the automatic cookie-control, the script needs a bit of editing: Remove the async attribute and add a data-blockingmode=”auto” attribute.

Prior consent

Tip: Using Google Tag manager? Read our Google Tag Manager deployment guide.

To enable prior consent, apply the attribute “data-cookieconsent” to cookie-setting script tags on your website. Set the comma-separated value to one or more of the cookie categories “preferences”, “statistics” and “marketing” in accordance with the types of cookies being set by each script. Finally change the attribute “type” from “text/javascript” to “text/plain”. Example on modifying an existing Google Analytics Universal script tag:

<script type="text/plain" data-cookieconsent="statistics">

(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-00000000-0', 'auto');

ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>
