Asking for cookie consent is technically very challenging. The GDPR add-on offers a relatively simple solution. For an alternative solution, search for the Easy Cookiebot add-on.

The following section shows what happens when a visitor clicks on a button in the cookie bar.

When consent is given

• It allows the Tracking Code to be run.
• It stores a cookie named "cookieconsent_status" with the value "allow" for 1 year.
• It sets a session named "gdpr.cookies" with the value 'true'.
• It hides the cookie bar and prevents it from loading in subsequent requests.
• It reloades the page.

When consent is denied

• It doesn't allow the Tracking Code to run.
• It stores a cookie named "cookieconsent_status" with the value "deny" for 1 year.
• It sets a session named "gdpr.cookies" with the value 'false'.
• It hides the cookie bar and prevents it from loading in subsequent requests.
• It reloades the page.

When consent is dismissed

• It doesn't prevent the Tracking Code to be run, unless 'Opt-out' is chosen.
• It stores a cookie named "cookieconsent_status" with the value "dismiss" for 1 year.
• It hides the cookie bar and prevents it from loading in subsequent requests.

Customization

• The type of consent (opt-in, opt-out, notice).
• The position (bottom, top, floating left, floating right).
• A theme (rounded buttons, classic, or without edges).
• The link to a privacy or read more page.
• Colors: banner background, button background, banner text, button text.
• Texts: banner text, dismiss, button text, read more link text, deny button text.

How to reset the cookie status?

You can create a button somewhere and give it the class "gdpr-reset-cookie-consent". When clicked on it, it will automatically reset the cookie status (both in the browser as on the server).
