    $atts = shortcode_atts( array( 'text' => 'Cookie settings' ), $atts, 'cookie_settings_link' );

    return '<button type="button" class="wpide-cookie-settings" onclick="document.cookie=\'wpide_consent=;path=/;max-age=0\';location.reload();" style="background:none;border:0;padding:0;color:inherit;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;font:inherit;">' . esc_html( $atts['text'] ) .
