CookieYes is installed.
Does it block?

The most common causes

The banner shows, the choice is saved, and data still goes out. Usually CookieYes does not know the script.

1. 01

   Script not assigned to a category

   CookieYes only blocks what it can assign to a category. A script missing from the cookie list loads right away.

   Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC

2. 02

   Script tag fixed in the theme

   The browser runs a normal script tag before the banner has asked. It is held back with type="text/plain" and data-cookieyes="cookieyes-analytics" or "cookieyes-advertisement".

   Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC

3. 03

   Old WordPress plugin

   The plugin used to be called GDPR Cookie Consent (cookie-law-info). Versions before 3.0 work differently from the current one; after the update the steps on this page apply.

   Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC

4. 04

   Tag in Google Tag Manager

   A tag without “Require additional consent” (Advanced settings) fires whatever was chosen in the banner.

   Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC

Step by step

1. Measure

   Open the page without consenting and note which services load; then click “Reject” and look again. The report does this for you, with the place each service is added.

2. Assign in the cookie list

   If the service is missing from the CookieYes cookie list, add it there and assign it to Analytics or Advertisement.

3. Mark script tags

   Change fixed tags to type="text/plain" with data-cookieyes="cookieyes-analytics" (analytics), "cookieyes-advertisement" (advertising) or "cookieyes-functional" (functional).

4. Measure again

   Check again without consent and after “Reject”. Only when the service is gone in both runs is it held back.
