Adding Blocking Code to the ScriptIn order to block the script that is setting cookies prior to the consent, apply the attribute “data-cookieyes” to cookie-setting script tags on your website.Set the value of this attribute to one of the cookie categories “cookieyes-performance”, “cookieyes-functional” and “cookieyes-analytics” in accordance with the types of cookies being set by the script.Example of modifying an existing Google Tag manager-script tag: window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'UA-144842869-1');To Block a Custom Script on Your WebsiteTo block any custom scripts that install cookies to which the ‘data-cookieyes’ attribute cannot be added can be blocked as below.You may use the below script to render your script based on visitor consent with the CookieYes banner. function getCookie(key) { const cookies = document.cookie .split(";") .reduce( (ac, cv, i) => Object.assign(ac, { [cv.split("=")[0].trim()]: cv.split("=")[1] }), {} )["cookieyes-consent"]; const { [key]: value } = cookies .split(",") .reduce( (obj, pair) => ( (pair = pair.split(":")), (obj[pair[0]] = pair[1]), obj ), {} ); return value; } if (getCookie("consent") == "yes" && getCookie("analytics") == "yes") { const script = document.createElement("script"); script.setAttribute("src", ""); document.body.appendChild(script); } This script can be pasted into your base HTML file by replacing with the URL of your script file.The category names to be added in the blocking code above are pre-defined in CookieYes. They are ‘functional’, ‘performance’, ‘analytics’, and ‘advertisement’.Giving Granular Control Over the Cookies.CookieYes allows you to classify cookies into categories according to their purpose. This allows the users of the website to enable and disable cookies in each category, giving granular control over the cookies based on their purpose.For example, if your website has cookies in three categories, namely Advertisement, Analytics, and Performance, and the user decides to allow only the Performance cookies, then the scripts for only the “Performance” cookies will be installed on the website when they click on Accept.But to
