Visual status doesn't show if NoScript blocks JavaScript about cookiemaster HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes, that seems likely. To get more reliable detection of cookies set by javascript, I had to add a content script that hooks into it. I imagine it's failing fairly early on. I'll see what I can do, but I can't promise I can fix it.

I cannot immediately replicate the problem, even setting the domain to 'untrusted'. I don't normally use No Script; can you confirm which exact add-on you're using (I tried "No Script Security Suite"). A link to the add-on page would be best, so I can be 100% sure I'm using the same one.

Also a screenshot of exactly what you see might be helpful.

NoScript = https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/

Example =

Top: JavaScript blocked, shows only cookie icon (no visual status/color dot)
Bottom: JavaScript allowed/trusted, shows visual status (color dot)

Ohhh, that's not a bug, the indicator is showing exactly what's going on.

Cookies can be set in two different ways:

1. In headers as part of the HTTP request (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cookie)
2. From executing javascript (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/cookie)

So disabling javascript on a page isn't preventing cookiemaster from showing an indicator, it means that the javascript which is setting the cookie isn't executing in the first place, so there's nothing for cookie-master to notice/report.

hmm, ok.

But this could confuse some users, so could you add a tooltip that says (for Cookiemaster button when there is no color dot) =

"No cookies (Either the site has none OR blocked by a addon e.g. NoScript)"
