The Cookie Manager is where you view and manage every cookie on your WordPress site. Whether cookies were detected automatically by the scanner or added manually, you can see them all in one list, update their details, and organize them as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Access Cookie Manager<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open your WordPress dashboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Navigate to SureCookie plugin<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click on Cookie Manager<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"image\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    You will see all cookies on your site listed in a table with columns for name, category, provider, domain, duration, and type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Understanding the Cookie List<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Each row in the cookie list represents one cookie on your site. Here is what each column displays:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Column<\/strong><\/td>What It Shows<\/strong><\/td>Example<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
    Name<\/td>The unique identifier of the cookie<\/td>_ga, wordpress_logged_in, fbp<\/td><\/tr>
    Category<\/td>The type or group the cookie belongs to (Essential, Analytics, etc.)<\/td>Essential, Analytics, Marketing<\/td><\/tr>
    Provider<\/td>The company or service that sets the cookie<\/td>Google Analytics, Facebook, WordPress<\/td><\/tr>
    Domain<\/td>The website domain where the cookie is used<\/td>example.com, .google-analytics.com<\/td><\/tr>
    Duration<\/td>How long the cookie persists. Session means it deletes when the visitor closes their browser. Numbers show days until expiry.<\/td>Session, 365, 90, 1<\/td><\/tr>
    Type<\/td>Indicates how the cookie was added to your list<\/td>Scanned, Custom<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Add a New Cookie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If the scanner has not detected a cookie on your site or you wish to add a custom cookie, you can add it manually. This is useful for cookies that are set dynamically or only appear after a user interaction. To add a new cookie, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Click New Cookie at the top right of the cookie list<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Fill in the cookie details using the form fields<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"image\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Click Save<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        The new cookie appears in the list below and is ready to be assigned to a category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Edit and Update Cookies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        You can edit any cookie in the list by clicking the edit icon on the right side of its row. This opens the same form used when adding a cookie, with the existing details pre-filled. Update any fields and click Save to apply the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Delete Cookies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        To delete a cookie, click the delete icon on the right side of the row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Scanned cookies may not get deleted or reappear on your next scanner run. This happens because the code or plugin setting the cookie is still active on your site. To prevent a scanned cookie from reappearing, delete the plugin or code that sets it, or edit the entry to convert it to a custom cookie that you control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Custom cookies are permanently deleted when removed and do not reappear unless you add them again manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How Scanned and Custom Cookies Work Together<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If a cookie exists as both a scanned entry and a custom entry, SureCookie uses the custom entry and ignores the scanned one. This means you can manually correct or update how a cookie is configured without the scanner overwriting your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you delete a custom entry later and the scanner detects that cookie again, the scanned entry will reappear in your list on the next scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Keep Your Cookie List Updated<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        A well maintained cookie list ensures your consent banner shows visitors exactly what is running on your site. Run a scan and review your cookies after:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
