Real Cookie Banner is installed.
Does it block?

Real Cookie Banner holds back what a content blocker matches. A script no rule matches loads before consent or after “Reject”.

The most common causes

The service is set up, the banner asks, and data still goes out. Usually no content blocker matches the place where the script is added.

WhatEU reference
No content blocker for the script
A content blocker works through a URL rule (for example *googletagmanager.com/gtag/js*) or a selector rule and is linked to a service. Under Cookies, Content Blocker, add a blocker whose rule matches the script's address.		Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC
Inline script without an address
Code written straight into the theme has no URL. Use a keyword from the code as the rule, such as *window.dataLayer* or *fbq(*.		Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC
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
The same service added twice
A plugin adds the pixel, the theme adds it again. The blocker catches one, the other loads.		Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC
Google Fonts from the theme
Easiest is to host them locally; then you need neither a service nor a blocker.		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 address of each service.

  2. Add a content blocker

    Under Cookies, Content Blocker, add a blocker, link it to the matching service and enter the script's address as a URL rule, for example *connect.facebook.net*.

  3. Catch inline code

    For code without an address, use a keyword from the code as the rule, such as *window.dataLayer* or *fbq(*.

  4. Measure again

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

Questions

Why does a service load although it is set up in Real Cookie Banner?

The service alone holds nothing back. Only a content blocker whose rule matches the script's address or code stops it from loading.

What do I enter as the URL rule?

The address the script loads from, with an asterisk before and after, such as *googletagmanager.com/gtag/js*. The report gives this address for every service.

What a scan shows

It opens your page without consenting, notes every service with the address it loads from, then clicks Reject and measures again. That address is exactly the URL rule your content blocker needs. Free as well: check your email sender.
