<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin does not make direct HTTP requests to any external service or API on its own.</p>
<p>However, the plugin includes built-in script-blocking pattern lists that reference well-known third-party domain strings. These strings are used <strong>locally</strong> to match and block scripts loaded by your own site before consent is granted. No data is sent to these domains by the plugin itself.</p>
<p>The following third-party domains are referenced in the built-in blocking pattern defaults:</p>
<h4>Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics</h4>
<p>Pattern used: <code>googletagmanager.com/gtag</code>, <code>google-analytics.com</code></p>
<p>These patterns allow the plugin to identify and block Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager scripts until the visitor consents to the Statistics category.</p>
<p>If your site loads Google tags, those tags will connect to Google’s servers. Please refer to Google’s own terms and privacy policy:<br />
* Terms of Service: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/<br />
* Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</p>
<h4>Meta (Facebook) Pixel</h4>
<p>Pattern used: <code>connect.facebook.net</code></p>
<p>This pattern allows the plugin to identify and block Facebook/Meta Pixel scripts until the visitor consents to the Marketing category.</p>
<p>If your site loads the Meta Pixel, it will connect to Meta’s servers. Please refer to Meta’s own terms and privacy policy:<br />
* Terms of Service: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools<br />
* Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/</p>
<h4>Other built-in patterns</h4>
<p>The plugin also includes built-in blocking patterns for other common analytics and advertising services including <code>clarity.ms</code> (Microsoft Clarity), <code>hotjar.com</code>, <code>doubleclick.net</code> (Google Ads), <code>googleadservices.com</code>, <code>googlesyndication.com</code>, <code>ads-twitter.com</code>, <code>platform.twitter.com</code>, <code>tiktok.com</code>, <code>snap.licdn.com</code>, <code>ct.pinterest.com</code>, <code>matomo</code>, <code>plausible.io</code>.</p>
<p>All of these patterns are used solely to match and block third-party scripts on your own site. The plugin itself does not transmit any data to these services. Data transmission to these services only occurs after the visitor grants consent, or if the scripts are loaded by other means outside the plugin’s control.</p>
<h3>Developer API (Hardcoded Scripts)</h3>
<p>The safest and most WordPress-native way to load scripts is using <code>wp_enqueue_script()</code>. Stella Cookies will automatically detect and block these enqueued scripts based on your consent settings.</p>
<p><strong>Please do not paste raw <code><script></code> tags directly into your theme templates (<code>header.php</code>, <code>footer.php</code>, etc.).</strong> Hardcoded raw scripts cannot be reliably blocked without causing conflicts with other plugins.</p>
<p>If you are a developer and absolutely must output a script manually, please use the provided helper functions. These functions will automatically enforce the user’s consent choice without rewriting the whole page.</p>
<p><strong>For external scripts:</strong><br />
    stella_cookies_script( ‘https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js’, ‘marketing’ );</p>
<p><strong>For inline scripts:</strong><br />
    <code>php<br />
stella_cookies_inline_script( "<br />
    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];<br />
    function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}<br />
    gtag('js', new Date());<br />
    gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');<br />
", 'statistics' );</code></p>
