    Thanks,

    Excellent to hear that it should work, but it's not quite working on my site. Possibly I should put in a ticket to have you look at it.

    My main concern:

    Tested three times now, and if I click enable for
    Block all cookies
    [x]enable []disable Prevents cookies from being saved and terminates user session (GDPR). When enabled the pop-up will be shown to all users, regardless of their country.
    It shows to me in the US even though US is not in the country list. That seems to be what the description says there, but it would be much better if it "appears only for the country codes you set in the settings and blocks cookies until user accepts the cookie policy." It doesn't show a newer version available, but maybe I need something to be tweaked there.

    If I click disable for the block option, then cookies aren't blocked if you don't click Accept as a user. So I'm afraid this wouldn't be GDPR compliant. If I click enable, it's showing for the US even though US is not in country list, and I'm afraid that may annoy the majority of my users unnecessarily since it's not required for the majority of my users, only less than 5% require GDPR notice at this point in time.

    Minor concerns:

    Also if I click enable for the block option, it initially prevents all but two cookies from being set on first page load; however PHPSESSID still shows as a set cookie although it shows content: deleted, and client_utc_time shows as a set cookie although it shows its content as blank. I'm not sure if this would be ok with gdpr letter of the law to set cookies and have their contents be blank; maybe that is fine - I am not sure?

    Then if you click a list/grid button or a heart to add a favorite on a listing type page, a favorites or grid_mode cookie is set even if you don't click accept on the cookie popup as a user. If you then navigate to the homepage again, the favorites or grid_mode cookie is deleted. I'm not sure if this is quite right since the cookie is set without clicking accept. Maybe this is close enough to not be a problem, I am not quite sure.
