Auto hide in case cookie exist + others to clarify
Hey guys,
I am just implementing Cookiebot and I have some questions.
I've seen in the implementation guide how to apply prior consent.
We use Pardot and have a database that I need to apply prior consent to. The idea is that if anyone has a Pardot cookie (so they are in the database) then they automatically consented and the widget would not be shown.
If I insert this into the Pardot tag in GTM:
<script type="text/plain" data-cookieconsent="statistics,preferences,marketing">
Would that mean that they will not get the widget shown?
As a secondary question I'd like to know if GA and other tags are muted by default until people press accept on the widget or do they get muted after the fact that they untick certain categories and click accept?
Thanks a lot!

While you may regard users in the database as having consented to cookies, I'm not clear on how you are thinking that CookieBot would be aware of this...?
The tag, <script type="text/plain" data-cookieconsent="statistics,preferences,marketing">, tells CookieBot that the script is okay to run IF the user has accepted statistics, preferences, and marketing cookies. But the user has to interact with the CookieBot script in order for CookieBot to be aware of the user's stated consent. Putting the tag on a script doesn't mean "assume that the user has consented to these categories", but instead means "only allow the script to run IF the user has ALREADY consented directly to CookieBot".
If you are wanting to have database-listed users not have to interact with the box, (1) you'll need to be able to show that these users have in fact, at some point previously, consented to ads and cookies and (2) you'll probably need to edit something on the back-end of your site or database, to get around CookieBot's check.

(I'm just another user. I'm not with CookieBot, and I'm not a scripter. This is just my best guess.)0
