@dyonic/cookie-policy v1.0.3

Dyonic cookie policy component

This project contains the scripts and styles to display a cookie policy notification on a web page.

You can use it to display a custom cookies message of your choosing on your own web page.

Usage

This project can be installed via an NPM package.

yarn add @dyonic/cookie-policy

...or...

npm install @dyonic/cookie-policy

You can then install the library either by directly linking to it or via an ES6 import.

1. Via direct link

To consume the library directly, add a link to the JS file containing an IIFE and call the lib:

<script src="[ INSERT YOUR LOCAL PATH ]/js/cookie-policy.js"></script>
<script>
  cpNs.cookiePolicy();
</script>

2. Via ES6 import

import { cookiePolicy } from '@dyonic/cookie-policy';

Revoking the cookie policy

If you would like users to change their preferences you can add js-revoke-cookie-manager class to any element that is present in the document to recall the policy manager.

<button class="js-revoke-cookie-manager">Revoke cookie manager</button>

or

<a href="" class="js-revoke-cookie-manager"Revoke cookie manager</a>

Visiting a page with tracker disabled

If you add the query ?cp=hide to any URL the cookie policy will not be rendered. The main use case is to visit the policy page without the modal blocking the content.

Callback hook

You can set up the cookie policy with a callback when a preference is selected.

function callbackFunction() {
  alert('Calling back');
}
cpNs.cookiePolicy(callbackFunction);

Full example via ES6 import

import { cookiePolicy } from '@dyonic/cookie-policy';

cookiePolicy();

Cookie groups

Essential cookies are always allowed, unless the user turns them off in their browser. Otherwise, there will be a series of values the _cookies_accepted cookie can contain : | Cookie value | Description | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | all | All cookies accepted by the user. Currently used by the existing widget | Previous value was true. Using the same cookie. | | essential | Essential cookies accepted. | This is used to hide the notification instead of not setting the cookie | | performance | Performance cookies accepted. | - | | functionality | Functionality cookies accepted. | - |
