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

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.
