Managing euconsent-v2 with a consent banner

A consent banner can keep the script that sets euconsent-v2 waiting until the visitor accepts functional cookies. Kukie.io's cookie scanner finds euconsent-v2 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.
