Extension Manual

This documentation is for the TYPO3 extension mindshape_cookie_consent.

Editor Guide 

Configuration 

Open the root page in the List module to find the Cookie Consent Configuration.

You can choose the site(s) the cookie consent should cover. In a multi-tree-backend it is possible to have a separate cookie consent configuration for every root.

If you enable statistics, the chosen cookie consent gets collected in the Cookie Statistics backend module.

You can edit the header and hint text that appear above the individual cookies.

Creating new cookies 

When you create new necessary cookies, they will get listed in the cookie consent modal in the frontend. Users cannot uncheck the boxes for necessary cookies, but you can provide the names, purposes and duration of those cookies.

By creating a new cookie category, you can create the checkboxes for the single cookies and collect them in groups (e.g., the cookies of YouTube, Vimeo, and Google Maps get collected in the group "external media"). Creating a new option generates a new group. Inside this option, you create new cookies.

Users can accept the entire option (e.g., all of "external media") or select a single cookie inside this option (e.g., only "YouTube").

Important: Note that the cookie options shown in the cookie consent modal have no effect yet. To properly block and allow cookies, a developer needs to work with the event listeners (s. developer section).

Google Consent Mode 

If you want to use Google Consent mode for cookies, you can use the select option in the cookie options.

For now, only Google Ads & Analytics is supported; the selected options will be pushed to your Tag Manager with "denied" or "granted" depending on the user's choice.

See Google's documentation about this topic.

The Cookie Consent Frontend Plugin 

When you place the frontend plugin on a page, a button will appear in the frontend to open the cookie consent modal. The user can change the cookie consent settings and save them anew.

The Cookie Consent Statistics Backend Module 

To see statistics here, you need to have statistics enabled in the cookie consent configuration.

At the moment, the data collected shows the percentage of users that clicked accept all versus those who only accepted single cookies.

Developer Guide 

Configuration 

The Cookie Consent Configuration plugin is set automatically on every root page.

If you want the same configuration for every site you can choose "All Sites" in the configuration details. Otherwise you can configure the cookie consent for every root page separately.

Important information: Beware, that the Cookie options configured in the Cookie Consent Configuration Plugin in the backend do not have any functional effect yet. While cookie names and descriptions are displayed in the frontend modal, but to properly block and allow cookies, you need to use the event listener (s. section below).

As the developers of this extension, we have already implemented it for several of our customers. If you need any assistance with the configuration of the cookies on your website, feel free to contact us - we gladly provide assistance on an hourly basis.

Site configuration for statistics backend module 

If you want to collect statistics about which cookies get accepted, you need to enable statistics in the configuration.

You also need to configure the route enhancer for cookie.json. Otherwise the ajax request sent by the cookie consent form will not work.

routeEnhancers:
  PageTypeSuffix:
    type: PageType
    default: ''
    index: 'index'
    map:
      'cookie.json': 8641
