Hi Guys,

 

We've started to use the cookiebot wordpress plugin in some of our client's webpages.
Mainly to prevent any Youtube cookie hassle. 

We have some webpages using Vimeo as a video integration. This is where some problems occur:

Vimeo places the following cookies, eventhough they are declared as Statistics.
- player (value seems to be empty -> "")
- vuid 

The auto blocking is on. 
Why are these cookies still being places? 
Anybody?

Thanks a bunch! 

Roel

  Hi Roel,

  The issue with the Vimeo cookies was caused by a general rule that all tags/videos coming from Vimeo required prior consent (allowing marketing cookies). That is why the visitors needed to accept marketing cookies even there are no such cookies (cookies are not classified as marketing).
  However, could you please confirm that you are still experiencing this problem because it is no longer the case, since this rule has been removed from the released of a new consent service version. Please re-scan you domain and check if you still experience this issue. 

  If you are still experiencing the issue, could you please check if the cookies are being set before or only after giving a consent, because this is important to know. Also could you please tell me if all cookies coming from Vimeo are properly classified.

  Regards, 
  Spas

  Hi Spas,

  I am experiencing the same problem. I re-scanned the website but Vimeo is still setting cookies even though Cookiebot should block it and even though I added the do-not-track parameter to the Vimeo iframe. Any idea what to do? I'm talking about https://exaas.co/.

  Kind regards,

  Jonas
