    Hi,
    in case of an e-commerce based on Woocommerce, I wonder if Paypal cookies used for the checkout payments (that should be blocked before consent) fall within the case of IFrame blocks managed by Premium version, or is there a specific way to manage them?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Thanks for using our plugins.

    Paypal cookies used for payment processing would not be blocked by Iframe Blocker. Perhaps those cookies could be considered essential/strictly necessary? We can’t provide an advise on this though, you may want to ask Paypal support about how to treat or block those cookies.

    Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    thank you for your reply.

    That’s a very good question: in my opinion Paypal should be blocked until an explicit consent is given, because it uses cookies no matter if you decide to pay with it or not (you may want to complete the checkout by using other payment methods. Or you could change your mind and buy no items at all). These cookies become mandatory once you click on the Paypal button and decide to purchase by Paypal.

    If the plugin do not block Paypal automatically, it should be done manually working on the code that loads the Paypal buttons.

    Hello,

    “If the plugin do not block Paypal automatically, it should be done manually working on the code that loads the Paypal buttons.”

    That’s only possible if Paypal gives you instructions on how to block cookies before consent is given. Once they give it to you, please let us know and we can advise further.

    Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    I don’t insert Paypal buttons directly, in Woocommerce based e-commerce sites I usually use a free plugin that implements Paypal payment in the checkout. So I can wrap that code with your default if-statement before Paypal is added, consistently with cookies choice.

    Hi Christian

    That sounds like the perfect solution.
