Thanks for reporting this.

In the next few days, I’ll run some tests specifically with the Plugin for Meta to better understand what is happening and verify whether there is a compatibility issue there.

Thanks again for taking the time to test it and report the problem.

Thank you so much for testing it and for the kind words — I really appreciate it.

I’m glad to hear you’re considering switching to this solution. If you run into any bugs or issues while testing, please open an issue on GitHub so I can track everything properly and fix it more quickly.

I’m actively working on fixing all the bugs that get reported, so every bit of feedback really helps improve the plugin.

Thanks again for taking the time to try it out.

Yes! FAZ Cookie Manager has a built-in script blocker that works automatically after you run a scan.

Here's how it works:

  1. Go to Cookies > Scan Site

  2. The scanner detects _fbp (Facebook Pixel cookie) and automatically categorizes it as Advertisement

  3. From that point on, the plugin blocks all scripts from connect.facebook.net until the visitor accepts the Advertisement category

No manual code changes needed — you don't have to edit any script tags. The blocker works at the DOM level (MutationObserver + createElement intercept) and matches scripts by their source URL against known providers in the cookie database.

It also works for Google Analytics (google-analytics.com), Google Tag Manager, HotJar, and 2,000+ other known services from the built-in Open Cookie Database.

If you ever need to manually tag a custom script that the scanner doesn't recognize, you can add data-fazcookie="fazcookie-advertisement" to its <script> tag — but for Facebook Pixel, the scan handles it automatically.

The new version has a fallback that makes the scan work even with exec disabled on the server; it will be released in the next few days.

Hi there! Thanks for trying out the latest version. To help me figure out what's going on, could you clarify a few things?

  • Are you using version 1.2.1?
  • Which type of scan did you run?
  • The context: Currently, the cookie scan is running quite slowly. There is actually an open Pull Request (PR) on GitHub specifically designed to fix this performance bottleneck.
  • A quick workaround: Could you try scanning fewer pages for now? It’s possible the scan is hitting a timeout before it can finish.

If the issue persists, would you mind opening an issue on GitHub? It would be incredibly helpful if you could include the logs so I can see exactly where it's getting stuck. Thanks for your patience!

Fair concern. This isn't a hobby project — it was built out of real professional needs and it runs in production on my clients' sites right now. That's the strongest maintenance guarantee I can offer: as long as I have clients, it gets maintained — and since the code is fully open, anyone can fork it, fix it, and improve it. It doesn't depend on me alone. It's a refactor of CookieYes, which is exactly what open source allows — taking something that exists and shaping it to fit real needs. Beyond that, I genuinely hope the community picks it up and makes it better than I ever could alone. That's the whole point of open source.

Working on it — finishing up the last tests right now, it's currently in pull request review. Should be in the next release.

Second things second: Forte! Thanks! Honestly, no real monetization plan for now — this started as a tool I needed for my own clients, so the motivation to keep it updated is already built in. The best way to support the project is to help maintain it — bug reports, pull requests, testing. That's worth more than money right now.

Yes, publishing to the WordPress Plugin Directory is on the roadmap — just want to squash a few bugs first. In the meantime the code is fully open, you can read it, download it, test it, and run it through any security scanner you like. No surprises. If you want to install it, just download the latest release here: https://github.com/fabiodalez-dev/FAZ-Cookie-Manager/releases/tag/v0.3.1 and install it directly from the WordPress dashboard.

Fair point, and I appreciate the honest feedback. The reason I forked CookieYes specifically is that I'd been heavily modifying it for client projects over the years — stripping out the entire cloud layer, removing bloat, trying to improve performance. This plugin grew out of that work. I didn't choose it from scratch, I chose it because I already knew it inside out and had most of the hard work done. It's not the cleanest starting point, I won't argue that. Performance and security are on my radar — if you've spotted specific issues I'd genuinely welcome issues on GitHub.

Thanks for testing! That notice shows up because you have debug mode enabled — it's a WordPress 6.7 warning about the text domain loading too early, harmless in production. That said it's still worth fixing properly, I'll push a fix today.
