The old Consent Manager offers a feature to ask users again who have not given Consent. By default that is 6 months. There don’t seem to be any customization options.

I know I can hack the cookie via Custom JS, but I want to avoid that and ask here in case I am missing sth.

Would CookieInformation provide more granular settings?

Hello @loldenburg - yes, Cookie Information has this option but it will require adding JS code. You can find more information in this article:

This is a bit of a downer. What is the exact benefit of cookieInformation if it doesn’t support such basic stuff from the interface? We don’t want to be dependent on website releases to experiment with the expiration time. Is this at least on the roadmap?
