Being able to suppress disqus embed script according to GDPR

[masiorama]

Hello, I have a problem not related to the plugin functionality, but rather to GDPR here in Europe.
To make my clients' websites compliant to GDPR regulations I use iubenda.com, and they have a page (https://www.iubenda.com/en/help/1229-manual-tagging-blocking-cookies) to explain how to suppress external script before the user has given his consent to load the script.

Deep inside that article you can find an original disqus implementation:

<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script>
  var disqus_shortname = 'example'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname
  (function() {
    var dsq = document.createElement('script');
    dsq.type = 'text/javascript';
    dsq.async = true;
    dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
    (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
  })();
</script>

And how to modify the script in order to let iubenda scripts to temporary suppress the script:

<script type="text/plain" class="_iub_cs_activate">
  var disqus_shortname = 'example'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname
    (function() {
        var dsq = document.createElement('script'); 
        dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; 
        dsq.async = true;
        dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
        (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
    })();
</script>

As you can see it is just a matter of changing script tag attributes.

I would like iubenda to be able to suppress disqus, printing the second version of the code I pasted above.

Is this something that you believe could be useful for this very package or do you suggest I should clone the repo, hack my own version and use that in replace, because this is a totally different context and dependency that should not be added?

Thanks in advance!
