Description of my issue:

Hi Nicholas,

This week I installed a cookie-tool and had several CSRF-shield blocks from visitors with this message: http://mywebsite.nl/index.php?option=com_cookieconfirm&task=setconsentcookie&log=0&format=raw

I made a new rule in the WAF exception-list and added com_cookieconfirm in the "Component" field and this seems to work.
How can I define more specific query-strings for this rule. In the documentation I read that I can use values like CAT in the field "View" and ID in the field "Query".

So my questions are: is it necessary to "finetune" my rule in this specific case, can I also use the values TASK and LOG and in which fields I can use these values?

Greetings, Paul

I know the guy who built Cookie Confirm, he's a client and we chat regularly. I know how Cookie Confirm works, so I can tell you that in this particular case you don't need to fine-tune anything.
