GDPR Question

Hi there, I’m trying to make sure I’m GDPR compliant ASAP. I’m using a service called CookieBot and Steps 1 and 2 are straightforward. Here’s where I’m having trouble… I have absolutely no idea what to do with this.

Step 3
To enable prior consent, apply the attribute “data-cookieconsent” to cookie-setting script tags on your website. Set the comma-separated value to one or more of the cookie categories “preferences”, “statistics” and “marketing” in accordance with the types of cookies being set by each script. Finally change the attribute “type” from “text/javascript” to “text/plain”. Example on modifying an existing Google Analytics Universal script tag:

<script type=”text/plain” data-cookieconsent=”statistics”>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[‘GoogleAnalyticsObject’]=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)})(window,document,’script’,’//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js’,’ga’);
ga(‘create’, ‘UA-00000000-0’, ‘auto’);
ga(‘send’, ‘pageview’);
</script>

If your website is loading scripts dynamically, use the functions of the Cookiebot API for full control.

Is this something I place within functions.php like the other code or what? Thanks a bunch for your help!
