Excluding session/localStorage Data

Visit Idaho

I have a website which is caching site data in local and sessionStorage.  How can I exclude this "cookie" data from the list of cookies?  It's non-personal data, that never leaves the browser, which is necessary to render the site.  Marking each piece of data as "Necessary" isn't an option as there's too many pieces and the keys constantly change.  Due to this storage data being counted as a cookie, cookiebot thinks there's 1063 cookies on my site, when there's really only a handful of real cookies on the site.

How can I either exclude this data from being counted or can you add a way to setup a regex so I can group the data under a single "cookie" entry to mark it as necessary?

  Hi Visit Idaho,

  You can send us the domain name or example names of the dynamic cookies, so we can add them to our global cookie repository with regex-definitions so that there will be only one instance of the cookie presented in the cookie declaration.

  The domain is visitidaho.org

  This regex will capture our current session storage data, although we do add more occasionally and would prefer a way to update this regex ourselves:  ^(pts|tst|vc|tg|evt|adv|tg|p|bp|cache)-.*

  Thanks

  Hi Visit Idaho,

  We have already applied regular expressions to the site, so your cookie declaration is now up-to-date.
  Now you should include the following CSS in the style sheet on the site to make the text in the cookie banner's declaration visible:

  .CybotCookiebotDialogDetailBodyContentCookieTypeTable tbody tr td {color: #000!important}

  Hi, I also have the same problem: my site is https://studiocdlfelli.it/privacy-policy/
  I use Yootheme (uikit) and on each site I always have these cookies detected:

  
  # Wp-admin / admin-ajax.php #
  # YOOtheme / cache #
  uk-img./#

  
  How can i remove them?

  Hi,

  We are also facing a similar issue, we use sessionState to store history with a dynamic stateId (required for other features of our application) and were wondering how we could group these under one? The format of the ID remains the same so should be possible to detect with regex. Is it possible for us to do this ourselves our would you need to?

  Thanks,

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  You can send your the domain name and cookies to support@cookiebot.com, so we can add them to our global cookie repository with regex-definitions so that there will be only one instance of the cookie presented in the cookie declaration.
  Please write to the support team and describe the situation, I believe that they would help you out. 

  Regards,
  Spas
