Integration with @whitespace/gatsby-plugin-cookie-consent

If you are using @whitespace/gatsby-plugin-cookie-consent it’s recommended to whitelist the container url and hook into the store to check if consent has been given:

1. Add this to gatsby-browser.js:

// gatsby-browser.js

import MatomoCookieHandler from "./src/components/MatomoCookieHandler";

export function wrapPageElement({ element }) {
  return (
    <>
      <MatomoCookieHandler />
      {element}
    </>
  );
}

2. And this to src/components/MatomoCookieHandler.js:

// src/components/MatomoCookieHandler.js

import { useStore } from "@whitespace/gatsby-plugin-cookie-consent/src/hooks/store";
import React, { useEffect } from "react";

MatomoCookieHandler.propTypes = {};

/**
 * Pushes "setCookieConsentGiven" to Matomo if/when cookies are accepted
 */
export default function MatomoCookieHandler() {
  let [store] = useStore();

  let cookiesAreAccepted = store.answer === "accept";

  useEffect(() => {
    if (cookiesAreAccepted && typeof window !== "undefined") {
      window._paq.push(["setCookieConsentGiven"]);
    }
  }, [cookiesAreAccepted]);

  return null;
}
