 @xkon

 > Now the only 'issue' let's say I see with this theory from the OP and
 I'm not sure I'm 100% with is this Other plugins should be able to
 retrieve the users consent state I don't like giving access to all plugins
 on everything. As this could be easily exploited by some not so 'trusty'
 ones.

 >It's the same principle as in logging we have to find a way that the
 consents are handle individually if possible or there's only 1 access
 somehow if that makes sense?

 >For example if I say 'yes' to a 'marketing' cookie I wouldn't want that
 to be misused by another plugin and add 10 things more because I said yes
 to 1 ( if that makes sense ).

 When someone gives consent to marketing through Cookiebot, they are giving
 consent to a "purpose". The purpose could be; online tracking for
 ''marketing'' purposes. They are not giving consent to individual cookies.
 If consent for marketing has been given, then plugins should be allowed to
 set marketing cookies or trackers.

 It would not be particularly user friendly or efficient to give consent
 for each individual cookie, say if there are 500 of them on a site.
