The complianz scan seems to over ride settings & info, for cookies that have info manually entered.

I have a simple blog style WP website. It has only 4 pages:

  1. The home page on which posts appear (of which there are 5 so far)

  2. Contact page

  3. Cookie policy

  4. Privacy policy

The site uses Attractive Blog as the theme. The site has no advertising, no facebook nor google content. The site has no users other than me. The site uses ninja forms for the contact form. Fluent SMTP uses Brevo as the mail sender to send contact form submissions to my mailbox. Brevo only acts as a mail sender and provides no other functionality (such as add contacts, marketing). There's no option for user's to sign up to a subscription of any kind. The contact form uses cloudflare turnstile for anti spam. There's no shop nor other content on there attempting to sell anything. The other plug ins used are:

AIOSEO

Duplicator

Minimal Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode

Updraft plus

All products used on the site are the free versions. I am on the latest versions of all.

I've been attempting to use Complianz generate the cookie consent banner and also the cookie policy. The Complianz scas finds numerous cookies, many of which it auto-populates info by syncing with cookiedatabase.org. For the following though, I have enter info into Complianz manually:

cf_clearance

cmplz_task_filter

ff_entries_date_filter

wp-settings-time-4

Each of those entries has 2 checkboxes:

  1. Sync cookie with cookiedatabse.org

  2. Show cookie on Cookie Policy

Even when I disable "Sync cookie with cookiedatabse.org", each Complianz scan seems to:

a) re-force that setting

b) remove the info I manually entered for each of those cookies, and sets each of these cookie listings to the default setting info Complianz had for them.

On the Complianz wizard under "Consent", is a tab called cookiedatabase.org. Under cookiedatabase.org is a button labelled, "Connect with Cookiedatabase.org". That button seems persistently On and greyed out, with no way to switch it off. I don't know if that is relevant or not, but I suspect it is.

How do I stop Complianz over-writing the info that I manually enter for those cookies?
