With Script Blocker cookies used by third party scripts (eg. Google Analytics, YouTube video embeds etc.) will be stored on visitors' browsers according to their cookie preferences. If a user decides to not allow marketing cookies then third party services will not run on that user's browser. By default, the script blocker is off.

Visitors will see a message to accept certain category cookies if the script blocker is blocking any cookies which are required to display content.

![Accept Cookies message](https://287138243-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LhngEwtvWDX8DN03PMk%2Fuploads%2FwE9hcSAztZXXvV3mgIqR%2FFrontend%20Cookie%20blocked.png?alt=media\&token=b992493f-186b-4d71-bf72-25d09879682c)

If a user updates cookie preferences then new settings will be reflected in the browser and according to that cookies will be set.

The Cookie Bar Shortcodes section lists all the shortcodes that are used in the plugin. These shortcodes can be used anywhere on the website, pages, and posts, not just the cookie bar. To add the shortcodes inside a template file, you can use the **‘do\_shortcode’** function.
