KK Cookie Banner
A reusable cookie consent banner component for React applications. This component handles user consent for cookies and integrates Google Analytics based on user preferences.
Features
- Encrypts and decrypts user consent data
- Stores consent data in cookies
- Integrates with Google Analytics based on user consent
- Fully customizable and easy to use
Installation
To install the package, run:
npm install kk-cookie-banner
You'll also need to have react, js-cookie, and crypto-js installed in your project. If they are not already installed, you can install them using:
npm install react js-cookie crypto-js
Usage
Import the Component
First, import the CookieBanner component into your React application:
import React from 'react';
import CookieBanner from 'my-cookie-banner';
const App = () => {
return (
{/* Your application content */}
);
};
export default App;
Add API Route
Create an API route to handle the consent data. Here's an example of a Next.js API route:
// pages/api/set-consent.js
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import CryptoJS from 'crypto-js';
const SECRET_KEY = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SECRET_KEY_CONSENT;
const decryptData = (data) => {
try {
const bytes = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(data, SECRET_KEY);
return JSON.parse(bytes.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8));
} catch (error) {
console.error('Decryption error:', error);
throw new Error('Decryption failed');
}
};
export async function POST(request) {
try {
const { consent } = await request.json();
const decryptedConsent = decryptData(consent);
console.log('Decrypted consent:', decryptedConsent);
const response = NextResponse.json({ success: true });
response.cookies.set({
name: 'cookie_consent',
value: consent,
secure: true,
sameSite: 'strict',
path: '/',
domain: 'yourdomain.com',
maxAge: 365 * 24 * 60 * 60,
});
return response;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error in API route:', error);
return new NextResponse('Internal Server Error', { status: 500 });
}
}
Environment Variables
Make sure to define the necessary environment variables in your project:
NEXT_PUBLIC_SECRET_KEY_CONSENT: The secret key used for encrypting and decrypting consent data.
NEXT_PUBLIC_MEASUREMENT_ID: Your Google Analytics measurement ID.
You can set these variables in a .env file:
NEXT_PUBLIC_SECRET_KEY_CONSENT=your-secret-key
NEXT_PUBLIC_MEASUREMENT_ID=your-measurement-id
Customize the Banner
You can customize the styles and text of the banner by modifying the CookieBanner component. The default styles are defined in the styles object within the component.
