Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Melon Consent – Cookie Banner & Content Blocker
No plugin can. Melon Consent supports you in technically implementing consent and blocking optional services. Legal compliance depends on your entire website, your texts and your configuration. The plugin does not constitute legal advice.
No. The plugin contains no telemetry, performs no external requests, and stores no visitor data on the server.
Yes. All four signals (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) default to "denied" and are updated after a decision. The strict basic mode (default) loads no Google tags before consent; the advanced mode is an explicit opt-in.
Yes. No request is made to youtube.com, youtube-nocookie.com or ytimg.com before consent — including thumbnails. A locally rendered placeholder is shown instead.
No. The privacy-enhanced mode reduces cookie usage but does not automatically prevent every data transfer. Melon Consent therefore blocks it before consent as well.
Yes: embed iframes, the Maps JavaScript API and statically detectable map resources are blocked before consent and replaced with a placeholder.
Normally no. Verification via DNS, HTML file or meta tag involves no tracking of visitors, so it is intentionally not a blockable service in Melon Consent.
Yes, by design. The served HTML is identical for every visitor (blocked content is inert in the markup); the visitor's browser activates allowed content after reading the consent cookie. No cache variants are needed.
Yes — via the floating privacy button, the [melon_consent_settings] shortcode, a link with the data-melon-open-settings attribute, or MelonConsent.openSettings(). After revocation, known Google Analytics cookies are removed and the page reloads.
No. The decision is stored only in a first-party cookie in the visitor's browser. No personal data, no IP addresses, no consent history in the database.
