Changelog

October 24, 2025
  • 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.
September 23, 2025
  • IMPROVED As announced in the mailing dated May 9, 2025, this update marks the start of the first phase of the automatic transition to Borlabs Cookie 3.3. In this phase, only websites with a Personal or Business license that are not part of a multisite network will request the upgrade. The upgrade can still be disabled via the dashboard in Borlabs Cookie.

  • IMPROVED To speed up troubleshooting, the Debug Console now indicates if the current URL is configured in the "Hide Dialog on Pages" list.

August 14, 2025
  • IMPROVED Newly added Services in installed Packages are now disabled by default to comply with legal requirements. Consent may only be requested for services actually in use. This change was also requested by agencies, as unused services previously had to be disabled manually.
  • IMPROVED The dialog is now automatically hidden on the configured imprint and privacy policy URLs. It is no longer necessary to add these pages to the "Hide Dialog on Pages" list manually.
  • IMPROVED The backwards compatibility library has been improved.
  • IMPROVED The onExist() method now supports checking nested object properties.
  • IMPROVED The telemetry system was improved. For more information, please see https://borlabs.io/borlabs-cookie/telemetry/.

  • ERROR RESOLVED The adjustment of the Script Blocker in version 3.3.14 caused the script tag of reCaptcha to be modified incorrectly when blocked for a few customers using Contact Form 7.
July 29, 2025
  • IMPROVED The Script Blocker now also detects and blocks <script> tags with the type module.
  • IMPROVED The Borlabs Cookie Debug Console is now vertically draggable. You can move the console, for example, to the top of the page, so that you can interact with elements that were previously hidden.
  • IMPROVED The telemetry system was improved. For more information, please see https://borlabs.io/borlabs-cookie/telemetry/.
  • ERROR RESOLVED A recent change in version 3.3.13 caused the custom CSS from Compatibility Patches to no longer be included in the Borlabs Cookie CSS. This issue has now been resolved.
July 22, 2025

  • IMPROVED The detection of misconfigured unblock codes from a Script Blocker has been improved in the Debug Console.
  • IMPROVED The detection of the correct Content Blocker based on the URL has been improved.

July 3, 2025
  • NEW The new setting, "Use Individual Content Blocker Styles", has been added and is enabled by default to maintain the previous behavior. Content Blockers installed from the Library will use their own color settings instead of the global color settings.
  • NEW The dialog can be skipped by adding the query string borlabs-cookie-skip-dialog. This is useful for third-party scanning systems or use cases like kiosk displays, where the website needs to be displayed without requiring prior consent.
  • IMPROVED The TCF dialog displays how vendors use storage information.
  • IMPROVED Minor code improvements.
