OUM cookie compliance

This module implements Google Consent Mode, and sends cookie consent events to the datalayer, when a user agrees to cookie categories in the cookie popup from eu_cookie_compliance.

Requirements

The eu_cookie_compliance & google_tag modules are required.

We need an analytics & preferably a Marketing category in eu_cookie_compliance.

Install

Add the git repository to your composer.json repositories:

    "repositories": [
        {
            ...
        },
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/openupmedia/oum_cookie_compliance.git"
        }
    ],

After that you can require this module as a regular composer dependency:

  composer require openupmedia/oum_cookie_compliance

How does it work

We set a default Google Consent Mode (analytics_storage & marketing_storage are both set so denied). With this setting we can safely activate Google Analytics or other Google services, and they will comply with GDPR. No cookies will be set, and no identifying data is stored.

When the user accepts the analytics or marketing categories, we update the corresponding Google Consent Mode storage value to granted so the Google Services can start tracking personal data, store cookies, etc.

We also send a cookie_consent event to the datalayer, containing the cookie categories, and whether they are allowed or not.

In Google Tag Manager, we can use this custom event to trigger additional tags, like social media pixels, etc.
