Changelog

  • IMPROVED Reworked the Output Buffer Manager to use the buffering system introduced in WordPress 6.9. Re-enabled the wp_should_output_buffer_template_for_enhancement filter, which was temporarily disabled in version 3.3.20.2. Additionally, the hook for starting our own buffer has changed from template_redirect to the later wp_before_include_template hook for WordPress 6.9 or newer.

  • WORKAROUND We are temporarily disabling the filter wp_should_output_buffer_template_for_enhancement, introduced in WordPress 6.9, until our Output Buffer Manager has been reworked.

  • ERROR RESOLVED When a Service was prioritized, a rare console error could appear: Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'u' has already been declared. This happened because our prioritization JavaScript did not properly scope one of its variables. This update fixes the issue.

  • IMPROVED Previously, CSS variables were applied to all elements via global selectors (*, :after, :before). They are now defined in :root to ensure proper global scope and more efficient inheritance. Kudos to Stephan who reported the suggestion.
  • ERROR RESOLVED In some installations, the IAB TCF cookie information text was missing, resulting in a null value being stored. This has now been resolved.

  • IMPROVED As announced in the mailing dated May 9, 2025, we are now moving on to the second phase of automatic transition to Borlabs Cookie 3.3. In this phase, websites with a Business Small or Business Medium license that are not part of a multisite network will request the upgrade too. The upgrade can still be disabled via the dashboard in Borlabs Cookie.

  • ERROR RESOLVED In version 3.3.18, the version number in the plugin metadata was accidentally not updated from 3.3.17 to 3.3.18.

  • IMPROVED The TCF dialog shows information about consent storage in the TCF_COOKIE cookie.
  • IMPROVED When TCF is enabled, the widget is always displayed as required by the TCF. The "Accept Only Essential" button is always shown in the second (details) layer of the dialog, in compliance with TCF requirements.
  • IMPROVED When TCF is enabled, Borlabs Cookie is configured to update automatically. If a website with TCF enabled is not updated to the latest version of Borlabs Cookie, it will stop receiving the Global Vendor List (GVL), resulting in a loss of ad revenue. Website owners have one month to update to the latest version before access to the GVL is discontinued.
