This is where the cookies that are detected are saved. You can change the cookies’s details here. You can also make a customized cookie to be blocked/accepted in your site.
To detect cookies that are used in your site, click the Scan for cookies button at the bottom of Ultimate GDPR & CCPA > Cookie Consent > Cookie consent settings.
Note
To have the Block All cookies functionality working, you must first detect all cookies and save them in the Services Manager.

ID - Identifier for the cookie script.
Service name - Name of the service which will be displayed in table created using [render_cookies_list] short code.
Script names - Comma separated names of java-script scripts which are to be blocked, to prevent creation of unwanted cookies.
Note
Plugin searches html content of <script>, <noscript> and <iframe> tags. If plugin finds any of “script names” it removes entire content of given tag.
Cookie names - Comma separated names of cookies which are to be blocked. It’s important use actual name of cookie, not name of service. For example – to block google analytics user must input “_ga” instead of “Google Analytics”.
Type of cookie - Drop-down allowing user to pick which category should the cookie be in. This allows user to agree for chosen cookie group.
First or Third party ? - First party cookies are cookies created by website itself, the rest are 3rd party.
Can be blocked ? - When user creates new service, you should test if blocking works as intended.

Note
Only services which are active, are being blocked. Unchecking this checkbox makes the plugin ignore this service.
When a third party cookie is not detected by the cookie scanner, you can add the third party cookies manually.
To add third party cookies, you can add the Cookie name of the cookies that you would like to block in Ultimate GDPR & CCPA > Services Manager under Cookie Names.
Sample third party setup:
To use this feature correctly, these are some pointers:
In the Ultimate GDPR & CCPA > Services Manager, uncheck the Do you want to activate this service? so that Google Analytics won’t be blocked.
The Google Analytics Tracking ID should be added in Ultimate GDPR & CCPA > Cookie popup for the feature to work since Google Analytics will be blocked as long as the consent isn’t given.
Enable the option for anonymization in Ultimate GDPR & CCPA > Cookie popup. This option will allow you to track anonymously without collecting any user data in compliance with GDPR & CCPA.
After following the instruction above, IP of all users visiting the website will be altered before sending the tracking data to Google. This will make impossible for search engines to directly assign tracking data to an exact IP Address making this action GDPR & CCPA compliance even if the user didn’t accept cookie consent.
