JavaScript API

cookieman.js exposes these methods:

cookieman.showOnce()

cookieman.showOnce()

| Data type: void |

Shows the confirmation modal when consent has not been saved yet.

It is automatically called on each page from cookieman-init.js (with an aditional condition, see When is the popup shown to users?)

cookieman.show()

cookieman.show()

| Data type: void |

Shows the confirmation modal.

You can also use the attribute data-cookieman-show on any element to show the modal when clicked.

<button data-cookieman-show>
  Adjust your cookie preferences
</button>

cookieman.hide()

cookieman.hide()

| Data type: void |

Hides the confirmation modal.

cookieman.consent(groupKey)

cookieman.consent(groupKey)

| Adds the given group (e.g. 'marketing') to the consented groups, updates the CookieConsent cookie and injects all items given each corresponding trackingObject's inject section.

This is meant as a programmatic way to implement banners before showing content from external sources such as YouTube videos, Google Maps, facebook posts, ... – clicking the "yes, show the content"-button would call this function and a <script> in trackingObject's inject section would take care of actually loading the content.

cookieman.consenteds()

cookieman.consenteds()

| Data type: array | Example: ["mandatory", "ads"] |

Returns all groups keys the user has consented to.

cookieman.hasConsented(groupKey)

cookieman.hasConsented(groupKey)

| Data type: boolean |

Returns true if the user has consented to the given group (e.g. 'marketing'), else false.

cookieman.hasConsentedTrackingObject(trackingObjectKey)

cookieman.hasConsentedTrackingObject(trackingObjectKey)

| Data type: boolean |

Returns true if the user has consented to all groups (A group is any name of a checkbox in the popup, e.g. 'marketing') that contain the given trackingObject, else false.

trackingObjectKey is the trackingObjects.‹tracking object key› from TypoScript, e.g. 'Matomo'.

cookieman.onScriptLoaded(String trackingObjectKey, int scriptId, function callback)

cookieman.onScriptLoaded(String trackingObjectKey, int scriptId, function callback)

| Data type: void |

Do things after an external script has been loaded. This is useful if you are interacting with external scripts that are loaded by Cookieman.

• trackingObjectKey is the trackingObjects.‹tracking object key› from TypoScript, e.g. 'Matomo'.

• scriptId is the number of the <script> inside your trackingObjects.‹tracking object key›.inject (starting from 0 with the first).

• callback is a function reference. It receives trackingObjectKey and scriptId (see example below). callback is called immediately if the referred to <script> has already finished loading.

Example:

cookieman.onScriptLoaded(
    'Matomo',
    0, // first script in 'inject'
    function (trackingObjectKey, scriptId) {
        _paq.push(['trackConversion'])
    }
)

Tip

Cookieman also includes the (1kB) cookie library JavaScript Cookie that also exposes its API and makes it easier to work with cookies.
