Comment (by cookiebot):

 Another thing came to mind.

 When a user enters the website for the first time, the whole site
 including all plugins that render output (possibly cookies and other
 trackers) are executed.

 The following requirements in the General Data Protection Regulation
 (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive (ePR) haveto be implemented:

 * Prior consent on other than strictly necessary cookies (ePR)
 * Prior consent on personal data (GDPR)

 How could plugins re-render script tags that e.g. set marketing cookies
 after consent to these has been given, without having to reload the entire
 page ?

 Currently the way Cookiebot works is to withhold any script from
 execution, by changing type="text/script" to type="text/plain". If the
 user gives consent to the e.g. marketing cookies then the scripts are
 allowed to execute, without a page reload.
