KaufmannDigital.GDPR.CookieConsent

A ready-to-run package, that integrates an advanced cookie consent banner into your Neos CMS site.
This is a further development of our previous cookie consent package. Through the individual configuration per service (cookie), this package is a perfect basis for creating GDPR compliant websites.

Installation

It's easier than you probably think!
Just run composer require kaufmanndigital/gdpr-cookieconsent

Configuration

Since this package is ready-to-run, you can configure your cookie banner in just a few Steps.

1. Create a new Cookie-Settings Page (shipped inside the Package) somewhere inside your Site-Tree.
2. Switch to the newly created page and edit the cookie banner contents to your wishes.
3. Add cookie-groups and cookies to the banner.

React to the user's cookie decision

You can use one of these Methods to react on the user's decision on which Cookies are accepted:

Load JavaScript dynamically

You can paste your JavaScript-Code while adding Cookies to the banner. The package will evaluate the user's decision and merge the required JavaScript dynamically for each user on the fly. You don't have to take care of anything. JavaScript gets loaded completely automatic. Cool, isn't it? 😎
Ah! And don't worry about performance. All JS gets minified and cached for every single visitor individually.

Read cookie-identifiers from cookie

If you are already using another way to include your JavaScript, you can depend on the value of the Choice-Cookie.
It's named KD_GDPR_CC and contains all identifiers of groups and cookies you defined in Backend while configuration. The payload of that cookie could look like this:

{
   "consents": [
      "necessary",
      "analytics",
      "marketing"
   ],
   "consentDate": "Tue, 11 Feb 2020 11:35:23 GMT",
   "expireDate": "Wed, 10 Feb 2021 23:00:00 GMT"
}

So just check consents and load the needed JavaScript.
Pro-Tip: If you are using Google Tag Manager to add your JS-Tags, you can define a custom datalayer-variable of type "First-Party-Cookie", which can be used as condition inside triggers then.

React to datalayer event in Google Tag Manager

In order to react to the user's decision in the Google Tag Manager, not much is needed. You can easily listen to an custom event. We provided a full Guide here.

Add a Re-open link

To create a link for reopening the banner, you only have to place a link with #GDPR-CC-open-settings as target:

<a href="#GDPR-CC-open-settings">Cookie-Settings</a>

After clicking on such a link, the cookie-banner will be loaded via API. Old settings are used as presets.

Versioning

In some cases, it may be necessary to show the cookie-banner to people who have actually already accepted it. For example, if a new cookie has been added.
To do this, you only need to edit the version date. You can find it in the inspector of the cookie-settings NodeType:

After the date has been changed, the banner will be shown again to all visitors, who have submitted the cookie banner before this date. Old settings are used as presets.

Styling

Custom Banner-Styles

The banner comes with a few basic-styles for positioning, which are getting included inline. To add your custom styles, just put a CSS-Files somewhere in your Resources-Folder and include it using Settings.yaml:

KaufmannDigital:
  GDPR:
    CookieConsent:
      customCSSFilepath: 'resource://Vendor.Package/Private/Styles/cookie-consent.css' #You can also use the public-path, of course

To get an idea of the CSS-styling and class-names, you can have a look into our SCSS.

Site-Styles on Cookie-Page

If you rely on your Site-Package Styles inside of the banner, you can just include them into the (otherwise unstyled) Cookie-Page for configuring the banner inside the Backend. To do so, just add it to your Settings:

KaufmannDigital:
  GDPR:
    CookieConsent:
      siteCSSFilepath: 'resource://Vendor.Package/Public/Stylesheets/Site.css'

Hint: We are working on advanced styling options. Different style- and positioning presets will be available in future. If you have any wishes or created a cool design for this banner yourself, please contact us.
