Cookie consent for header code plugins
pasted, then held
Header code plugins paste your snippets into every page. They load nothing on their own: what you paste decides what needs consent. A Google Analytics snippet pasted with any of them is held by Cookie Rocks until the visitor agrees.

What matters for consent with Code in the header
The snippet decides
These plugins only place your code. A tracker in that code needs consent, whichever plugin pastes it.
Google Analytics waits
A Google tag pasted in the header with any of the three is held by Cookie Rocks: nothing goes to Google before the choice, and its cookies appear after Accept all.
Paste as usual
You keep pasting the code you got from the provider. Cookie Rocks holds known trackers until consent.
