If a user does not consent, how does Cookiebot block cookies from being placed?

    Hey Molly,

    When you implement prior consent, you are changing script data type. Browsers use that attribute to interpreter what to run.When the type is changed to "text/plain" you are essentially telling the browser "not to run this code", which sets the cookies. So in combination with Cookiebot attribute you are adding to the script ( e.g. data-cookieconsent="marketing" ), you achieve the goal to ask visitors for their consent.
    When user accepts the cookies, Cookiebot executes this block of code that you have changed to "text/plain" and sets everything that is inside ( external js files, etc.. ) and the cookies are set.

    Regards,
    Martin
