WooCommerce sbjs / Sourcebuster

WooCommerce uses a Javascript package called Sourcebuster that drops statistical cookies.

I notice that in the Cookiebot plugin integration list it does not include WooCommerce nor does it do anything with these cookies.

Can a plugin integration for WooCommerce SBJS be configured to prevent dropping cookies until accepting?

Thanks

Hi @krypsin ,
Thank you for reaching out.

Possible reason Cookiebot might not block these cookies prior to consent is the use of optimization plugins like WP Rocket or LiteSpeed. These plugins often minify or defer scripts, which can disrupt Cookiebot’s autoblocking functionality. To resolve this issue, you need to exclude Cookiebot scripts from your optimization plugin’s settings.

If you would also like to request integration for WooCommerce SBJS, please submit a request in the plugin Github Issues section.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or need additional assistance. We’re happy to help!

Thanks for sharing the GitHub repo. I’ll submit a PR to the repo for this as a new addon then.

The documentation explains how to setup a new addon here: https://github.com/CybotAS/CookiebotWP/blob/master/documentation/how-to-block-cookies.md

During development of this I have noticed that using $this->script_loader_tag->add_tag doesn’t output the data-cookieconsent attribute to the script.

Looking into that further, it seems that this may be a bug in the core plugin (unless I am misunderstanding this).

https://github.com/CybotAS/CookiebotWP/blob/6ca854352e6445e3f94c36435fda350467a18431/src/lib/script_loader_tag/Script_Loader_Tag.php#L32-L37

The wp_script_attributes filter here doesn’t get the cookie type/category from the addon and hardcodes ignore as the type/category.

This doesn’t happen when using WordPress < 5.7 though and it correctly adds the attribute with correct category.

Does this makes sense and should this be moved over to a GitHub issue?

Thanks
