Continuous consents protection with CookieMan Fence: seamless security and compliance

Of course, you can easily do it.
You might need to activate a block of code following the consent expressed by visitors to your site.
Imagine, for example, that you want to activate a SCRIPT only if the visitor gives consent to a specific cookie. This could be useful, for instance, to display the Facebook like button on one of your posts only if the visitor consents to a cookie, and to hide the button if they don’t.
Doing this is very simple: define the cookie that will act as the trigger for the button. You can use one of your choosing or one already used for other purposes (as long as they are relevant to what you are managing).
In the cookie definition, under the “General data” section of the cookie, you will find the Content Activation Selector field.
Enter the name of the selector you want in this field — for our example, you can use FB_like_button.
On your page, you will have a script that inserts the Facebook button, something like this:
<script type="text/javascript" async>
codice
</script>
Now modify the first line of this code like this:
<script type="text/plain" CookieMan_Selector=FB_like_button async>
and leave everything else unchanged.
In this way, the SCRIPT will be activated only if the selected cookie receives consent from the visitor, and the button will remain invisible if consent is not given.

Further note: You can go even further. If you want, you can make it so another block of code is activated when the cookie does not receive consent.
In the example we saw, if the selected cookie does not receive consent, the Facebook like button is not displayed.
If you prefer, you can display something else instead of the button in this case — so the space doesn’t remain empty — or you could encourage the visitor to give consent with a message.
To do this with CookieMan, you don’t have to do anything special. You just need to insert in your page the
<script type="text/plain" CookieMan_Selector=FB_like_button_off async>
code
</script>
As you can see, we used the same selector you defined in the cookie, but with _off added: FB_like_button_off.
All scripts with this selector will be activated if the cookie is not accepted.

Unlike other solutions, CookieMan adopts the advanced technology CookieMan Fence, which ensures continuous protection of consents, even after the page is first loaded.
Therefore, you do not risk that cookies involving consent are recorded on the site without first acquiring it from your visitors.
If this happens, the cookie is not recorded anyway but the self-learning system will notify you immediately.
