Cookie Consent

A Django app to add a cookie consent modal to your site. This can then be used to check if the user has given consent to use cookies.

To clear the cookie preferences; the user can simple navigate to:

reverse('cookie_consent:revoke')

In templates; it is also possible to check if the user has given consent like so:

request.cookie_consent.allows('analytics') -> bool

Quick start

• Add 'cookie_consent' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

  INSTALLED_APPS = [
  ...,
  'cookie_consent',
  ]
  

• Include the cookie_consent URLconf in your project urls.py like this:

  path('cookies/', include('cookie_consent.urls')),
  

• Add the cookie_consent middleware to your MIDDLEWARE setting like this:

  MIDDLEWARE = [
  ...,
  'cookie_consent.middleware.CookieConsentMiddleware',
  ]
  

• Use the 'cookie_consent' template tag in your base template like this:

  {% load cookies_tags %}
  {% cookie_consent %}
  

• Check if the user has given consent to use cookies in your templates like this:

  {% consents_to 'analytics' %}
  	<script>
  		// Will only get rendered if the user has given consent to use analytics cookies.
  	</script>
  {% endconsents_to %}
  
  

• We require you to use two asset files. These are located in:

  static/cookie_consent/cookie-consent.css
  static/cookie_consent/cookie-consent.js
