This component is one of the most basic implementations of the cookie consent banner.
The script differentiates two types of action at the consent banner:
- accept all types of cookies,
- decline them.
We place a session cookie when you decline them and ask for permission (again) next time.
If you accept them, we place the category cookie(s). In this case, spruce-demo-cookie-law-analytics
. We use this cookie to identify if we should load analytics-related cookies (like Google Analytics). You can set up any category.
To load your tracking codes, use the following snippet:
if (
Cookie.isset('spruce-demo-cookie-law-analytics')
&& Cookie.get('spruce-demo-cookie-law-analytics') === 'accepted'
) {
console.log('ANALYTICS');
}
- As you see in the example, we also included an opt-out button; this is just a button to turn on or off any cookie type. You usually want to place it on your privacy policy page.
- We handle everything from JS because, in some cases, the back-end cache can kill the cookies.
- We reload the page after an opt-in or opt-out action because this is the simplest way to load (or turn off) the related scripts.
- We insert the consent banner right after the opening body and set a focus on it.
We store the settings in cookies using the following code:
/**
* Set a cookie value for the given key.
*
* @param {string} key
* @param {string} value
* @param {number|null} expires
* @param {string} path
* @param {object} options
* @return {void}
*/
export function setCookie(key, value, expires = null, path = '/', options = {}) {
const defaults = {
[key]: value,
expires,
path,
SameSite: 'Lax',
Secure: true,
};
const pairs = { ...defaults, ...options };
pairs.expires = pairs.expires ? new Date(Date.now() + 86400 * 1000 * pairs.expires)
.toUTCString() : null;
document.cookie = Object.entries(pairs)
.reduce((stack, entry) => stack.concat(entry.join('=')), [])
.join('; ');
}
/**
* Get the cookie with the given key.
*
* @param {string} key
* @return {mixed}
*/
export function getCookie(key) {
const cookie = document.cookie.match(new RegExp(`(^| )${key}=([^;]+)`));
return (cookie && cookie[2]) ? cookie[2] : null;
}
/**
* Determine if the given cookie exists.
*
* @param {string} key
* @return {bool}
*/
export function issetCookie(key) {
return document.cookie.match(new RegExp(`(^| )${key}=([^;]+)`)) !== null;
}
/**
* Remove the given cookie.
*
* @param {string} key
* @return {void}
*/
export function removeCookie(key) {
setCookie(key, null, new Date(null));
}
