How to use the test view:
Temporarily add the test view URL to your project:
Open your main urls.py (e.g., in your main project or test project) and add:
from lfs_cookie_consent.views import test_cookie_banner
from django.urls import path
urlpatterns = [
# ... your other URLs ...
path("", test_cookie_banner, name="test_cookie_banner"),
]
Open your project's start page in the browser. You should see the cookie banner and modal as intended.
Open your browser's developer tools, go to the cookies section, and observe how cookies are set or deleted based on your consent choices.
Remove the temporary URL once you have finished testing the functionality.
