Script does not execute in Firefox upon consent

[bent-rasmussen]

I have integrated your component and tested it in our solution. I quickly ran into the script tag should have the defer attribute set, otherwise Blazor seems to strip out the script tag from head of the server rendered HTML (.NET Core 6 Blazor - server rendered); I am writing this this since it is not clear from your otherwise excellent documentation (but maybe there is another way to handle this I am not aware of).

Once that was done I tested in Microsoft Edge and it seems to work well. I can see the script tag is changed to text/javascript and there is network traffic accessing a Google analytics resource.

However, the same is not true in Firefox (only have 1 add-on installed and it is disabled; also with all blocking turned off in settings). I can observe the cookie is created in Firefox and the script tag is changed when I consent - but the Javascript for the Google analytics tag does not seem to do anything - i.e. no network traffic.

You can check this yourself by just adding this code to the head of the page:

<script type="text/plain" data-consent-category="google" defer="defer">
      alert("google consent detected - but not in Firefox");
</script>

In Edge the alert will show; in Firefox it will not.

Hello and thank you for the feedback!

I personally wasn't aware that the defer attribute is required, I will add it to the documentation.

I attempted to address the issue you described about Firefox not executing the script tag in 95af524.
The fix is published as a preview package on nuget, please let me know if this resolves the issue for you.

Your changes seems to have fixed the issue! At least I cannot find anything else wrong with it. Much appreciated, since this looks like the nicest cookie consent solution I could find for Blazor. 🙏

If you had a Github donate option, I would donate. Thanks again!

Glad the issue is fixed. I will publish the preview package as a stable package later today 👍
