      Hi

      I am building a Tag Manager plugin for WordPress. The plugin has its own cookie notice which loads tracking scripts only after visitors agree to cookies. Unfortunately, today I noticed that when Opera's ad-blocker is running, scripts that should wait for the consent don't do this and are loaded with the pageload.

      Example

      Visit the website of my plugin fullpictureplugin.com from opera with ad-blocker enabled and disabled. You will see that when it is disabled a live chat bubble pops up in the corner. The script of this chat doesn't load until the visitor agrees to all cookies or personalisation cookies.

      This is very odd and I haven't seen anything like it before.

        I see the little orange chat icon at the bottom right of the viewport show up. If I click decline in your cookie dialog, that chat icon disappears. If I click accept, it stays. This seems to happen whether I have adblocking on or off.

        Also, if I click the chat icon, it opens a welcome box at the top right where a chat can be started. I can do that before choosing in the cookie dialog whether adblocking is on or off.

        Maybe a video demonstrating the issue would help in this case.
