SilverStripe CookieConsent module

Intro

Yet another cookie consent module. This one integrates https://www.cookieconsent.com/ which allow you to have various layouts (including blocking layouts) and load/allow cookies per type.

NOTE: even if it has the same name (and the same version number!!), it is NOT the cookieconsent from https://www.osano.com/cookieconsent

How it works

When you require your scripts, you should add their type in order to load them according to user preference:

The four types are :

• strictly-necessary
• functionality
• tracking
• targeting

And they will be rendered in something like this. Please note the text/plain type that prevents the script for being executed. This is what you should do if you include your scripts manually.

<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="strictly-necessary" src="strict.js">
<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="functionality" src="functional.js">
<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="tracking" src="tracking-performance.js">
<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="targeting" src="targeting-advertising.js">

or for inline scripts

<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="tracking">
console.log("i'm a tracking script");
</script>

If you use the Requirements api, in order to specify this extra attribute, you need a Requirements_Backend that supports it. This is delegated to my defer backend module.

This is how you would add a tracking script with the updated requirements api

Requirements::javascript('myscript',['cookieconsent' => 'tracking'])

For php cookies

If you set cookies on the serverside, you can check the CookieConsent::isAllowed method or use the CookieConsent::setCookie helper.
