This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to exclude the CookieYes script from optimisation by the NitroPack in WordPress, ensuring that CookieYes functions correctly without interference.

Steps to exclude CookieYes script from the NitroPack WordPress plugin

Step 1:

Step 3:

Access Exclusion Settings in NitroPack App

In the NitroPack App, go to the Cache Settings > Cache and scroll down to the Exclusions section.

Add CookieYes Scripts to the Exclusion List

To ensure that NitroPack does not optimize CookieYes scripts, add the following entries to the exclusion list:

  1. Exclude scripts from cookieyes.com

Enter cookieyes.com in the Asset URL/Code to the exclusion list to prevent NitroPack from optimising any scripts coming from this domain.

2. Exclude scripts matching cookie-law-info

Add cookie-law-info to the exclusion list to prevent any scripts with paths starting with this name from being optimised.

  1. Exclude scripts related to _ckyGcm

Add _ckyGcm to exclude any scripts containing this pattern.

Make sure to enter these exactly as shown, following the correct syntax.

Step 5:

Save the Changes

After adding these scripts to the exclusion list, click the Save button. This ensures that NitroPack will exclude these specific scripts from optimisation.
