How to automatically detect and block cookies with Cookie Shield

Ensure GDPR compliance effortlessly by identifying and blocking cookies on your website automatically!
MyAgilePrivacy offers the advanced Cookie Shield feature, allowing you to quickly scan, detect, and block third-party cookies and software.

By default, Cookie Shield is inactive, but activation and configuration are quick and easy.

Activation and Configuration

To enable Cookie Shield:

• Go to the "Cookie Shield" tab in the plugin options.
• Set the Cookie Shield to "Learning" mode using the "Operation Mode" dropdown.
  
• Visit your website’s main pages on the frontend as a normal visitor. (It’s not necessary to visit every single page; focus on pages with widgets, special features, or custom scripts.)
• As you browse, Cookie Shield detects and blocks cookies in real time. Detected cookies will appear in the cookie bar; meanwhile, admins get notifications of what’s detected and blocked.
• Tip: If you use file minification or caching plugins, temporarily disable them during the learning process to avoid compatibility issues.
• Once your scan is complete, return to Cookie Shield settings and switch to "LIVE" mode. This mode locks in the block settings and optimizes page loading speed.

For a step-by-step demonstration, watch the instructional video below.

Please Note: Cookie Shield is regularly updated to identify and block as many third-party cookies and scripts as possible. If you need help or have questions, use our contact form. Our team is ready to assist you and ensure your compliance.
