Visitors then see two banners, and the theme's banner does not block anything this extension manages. **Bootstrap Package**: the site set **Bootstrap Package: Full Package** includes the set `bootstrap-package/cookie-consent`, and its setting `page.theme.cookieconsent.enable` is on by default. Switch it off in **Site Management > Settings** (**Bootstrap Package > Cookie Consent > Enable Cookie Consent**), or in `settings.yaml`: **config/sites/\/settings.yaml** ```yaml page.theme.cookieconsent.enable: false ``` Then flush the frontend caches. Pages already in the page cache keep the second banner until they are rendered again. The **Cookie Settings** module warns with **Two cookie banners** when this site setting is on. It reads only site settings. If your site includes the Bootstrap Package as a static TypoScript template instead of a site set, there is no warning: switch off the constant of the same name in the Constant Editor. Other themes: look for a setting named cookie consent, cookie notice or cookie banner. The same goes for scripts a theme adds itself, for example a Google Tag Manager snippet. The extension blocks an external script only if it matches a configured service, or if `script_blocking` is on. Inline scripts are not blocked. ## Static file cache, reverse proxy, CDN {#static-file-cache-reverse-proxy-cdn} The extension works inside TYPO3: - The banner and its configuration are rendered with the page and stored in the TYPO3 page cache. - The PSR-15 middleware `codingfreaks/cf-cookiemanager/gdprhook` (`Classes/Middleware/ModifyHtmlContent.php`) rewrites the HTML of every response on its way out: script tags and iframes of known services become `type="text/plain"` or a placeholder until consent. A layer that answers **without passing TYPO3** (a static file cache, Varnish, a CDN or edge cache) serves the HTML it stored. If it stored the page before the extension was active, visitors get no banner and unblocked scripts. If it stored it before your last change, visitors get the old banner configuration. What to do: - Flush that cache after installing the extension and after every change in **Cookie Settings**. - Check a cached page in the page source: it must contain `consent.js`, and the script tags of your services must carry `type="text/plain"` and `data-service`. - The server never reads the consent cookie. `consent.js` evaluates the choice in the browser, so the same cached HTML is right for every visitor and the cache does not need to vary by that cookie. Inside TYPO3, saving a record in **Cookie Settings** clears the page cache only for the page the record is stored on. Other pages keep the cached banner configuration until you clear the frontend caches. To do that on every save, add to the page TSconfig of the root page: ```typoscript TCEMAIN.clearCacheCmd = pages ``` With **In Line Execution** off, the configuration is a file in `typo3temp/assets/`. It is written when TYPO3 renders the page, not on a cache hit. If a deployment empties `typo3temp/assets/` but keeps the page cache, cached pages point to a missing file and show no banner. Clear all caches after such a deployment. ## Content Security Policy {#content-security-policy} The extension registers no CSP directives and adds no nonces to the scripts it outputs. TYPO3 13.4 enforces a frontend CSP only when you enable the feature `security.frontend.enforceContentSecurityPolicy`. With a CSP in place, check: - **Banner configuration**: with **In Line Execution** on, it is an inline script without nonce. Switch the field off in the Frontend Settings. The configuration then loads as a file from `typo3temp/assets/`, which `'self'` covers. - **Opt-in and opt-out code** you enter in a service runs as inline script after consent. It needs `'unsafe-inline'` in `script-src`, or move the code into an external script file of the service. - **tracking_obfuscate** uses `eval()` and needs `'unsafe-eval'`. Leave it off under a strict CSP. - **Placeholders of blocked iframes** carry an inline `style` attribute with the iframe's width and height. Without `'unsafe-inline'` in `style-src` they lose that size. - **Thumbnails** are fetched from your own site and shown as a `blob:` URL. Allow `'self'` in `connect-src` and `blob:` in `img-src`. - **Your services** need their own hosts in `script-src`, `frame-src`, `img-src` and so on, as after any other embed. Test with `security.frontend.reportContentSecurityPolicy` (report only) first. ## Services assigned on the platform do not appear in TYPO3 {#services-assigned-on-the-platform-do-not-appear-in-typo3} Version 2.x keeps the configuration in TYPO3. The platform does not write into your TYPO3 installation. After a scan, import the result in TYPO3 under **Autoconfiguration & Reports**. Services added or assigned on the platform only reach your banner through that import, or when you add them in **Cookie Settings** by hand. See [With or without the CodingFreaks platform](../Introduction/Index.html#introduction-platform). ## The TYPO3 settings editor replaces %env()% placeholders {#the-typo3-settings-editor-replaces-env-placeholders} Saving in **Site Management > Settings** writes `settings.yaml` with resolved values. A secret kept in `%env(...)%` then stands in the file in plain text. This is TYPO3 core behaviour. Writes by the extension itself keep the placeholder. See [How TYPO3 treats the placeholder](../Configuration/ExtensionSettings/Index.html#extension-settings-secret). ## No CLI commands {#no-cli-commands} Presets, the connection check, scans and the import run only from the backend module. 2.x has no console commands for them, so they cannot run in a deployment script.
