Managing _hjLocalStorageTest with a consent banner
A consent banner can keep the script that sets _hjLocalStorageTest waiting until the visitor accepts functional cookies. Kukie.io's cookie scanner finds _hjLocalStorageTest and sorts it into a category. The banner holds back known trackers by default, and any other script you tag with its category waits too.
