Cookieconsent Script

A script that displays a cookie consent message as required by EU regulation (GDPR). The plugin displays a message on the user's first visit and they have the ability to consent to different categories of cookies and services.

See the demo: Cookieconsent

Cookieconsent modal

Features

  • IE11 compatible
  • Four different blocking methods
  • Multilingual
  • Mobile ready

Currently it can block all the bad cookie monsters in 4 ways:

Dynamic script tags

Some services insert dynamically created SCRIPT tags to the HEAD at page load. These can be intercepted and blocked.

Script tag blocking

Some third party services require you to insert a SCRIPT tag into your HTML pages. These can be inactivated until the user allowes them.

Script wrapping

Some services are not inserted in a SCRIPT tag and are obscured by layers of other code. Thats why this script creates a global wrapper function what you can use to wrap and block any JS code.

Local cookies

Finally the local cookies set on your domain can be also filtered by overriding the bowsers COOKIE SET method.

Usage

  1. Download the file cookieconsent.zip from the latest release and unpack its content.

  2. Include the script file into your HTML page before everything else.

<script src="cookieconsent.js"></script>
  1. Call the init() function with the configuration object.

See a working example in the docs folder.

Configuration object

The script is being controlled mainly by a configuration object which is passed to the inital call. It acts as configuration and a global state object.
