These cookies are set by this plugin
You can customize the cookie name, though.
- cookieconsent_status -> stores the user setting, if cookies are allowed or not. If you choose “differentiated consent” it stores, if the user closed the banner.
- cookieconsentstatus{cookiesuffix} -> only set in case of “differentiated consent”. It stores the user setting for the cookie group. One cookie for each group is set.
- nsc_bar_cs_done -> set if you activate ITP Protection (use backend cookies). Stores the information of when the cookie was set, to give them a duration.
Localstorage is used
If you have the premium add on and activate the stats module and activate the banner open counter, then a counter is written to localstorage. The key is “beautiful_cookie_banner_open_counter”.
