Subject: Compliance question.. currently the cookie gbuuid is set before cookie consent, if the cookie is set after consent, then the experiment won't trigger for us, has anyone experienced something like this or have a workaround on this?

It's a challenge. We have a section on cookies/experimentation here: https://docs.growthbook.io/lib/script-tag#cookie-policy-and-gdpr The idea is to create an ID for the user without persisting it. That way the experiment still runs. Then, if they do consent to cookies, you can then persist the cookie. The downside, of course, is that a user who doesn't consent may see different variations of the experiment.
