Upgrade from version 1.x

See upgrade guide for upgrade guidance to version 2.0.
For complete list of changes see changelog.

Basic usage

Make assets load faster by placing pre-connect headers right after in your :

``html



`

Load default CSS along with your styles in :

`html


`

Load the script and initialize the plugin right before ending tag:

`html


`

This will load the plugin from CDN and initialize the plugin with default settings.

As a next step, add a link to open cookie settings after the consent was previously given. This link should be placed
somewhere in the page footer, usually near "Terms of use" and "Privacy policy" links.

`html
Open cookie settings
`

[👀 See demo page with example][examples].

Loading the plugin

$3

You can load the plugin from a CDN, as in the basic example above.

`html




`

Alternatively, you can also download the latest version from the Releases page.

Loading the plugin from CDN or static file is recommended mostly for static sites without their own build process.

Once the plugin is loaded, you need to initialize it using initLmcCookieConsentManager() method, optionally providing
configuration parameters.

$3

For projects with their own build process for JavaScript, it is recommended to use the plugin
via npm package @lmc-eu/cookie-consent-manager.

1. Add the plugin to your dependencies:
`sh
yarn add @lmc-eu/cookie-consent-manager
`
or
`sh
npm install --save @lmc-eu/cookie-consent-manager
`

2. Import the module in your javascript:
`js
import LmcCookieConsentManager from '@lmc-eu/cookie-consent-manager';

window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
LmcCookieConsentManager('demo.example'/ , optional plugin configuration /);
});
`

See below for configuration options.

You can also look at the [example with EcmaScript module syntax][examples-integration-esm].

3. Include default CSS in your HTML:
`html

`
or in your Sass stylesheet:
`scss
@use "node_modules/@lmc-eu/cookie-consent-manager/LmcCookieConsentManager.css";
`

Please mind the .css extension used in the Sass example. Using the provided .scss stylesheet is
recommended only for projects that are built with Spirit Design System.

See below for theme customization options.

4. For projects that are NOT built with [Spirit Design System]:

1. Include default font in your HTML:
`html



`
or in your Sass stylesheet:
`scss
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;600;700&display=swap");
`

2. Or switch to custom font that matches the design of your project.

#### Legacy import

You can also use module with CommonJS import syntax:

`js
const LmcCookieConsentManager = require('@lmc-eu/cookie-consent-manager');
`

You can also look at the [example with CommonJS syntax][examples-integration-cjs].

Note: We prefer to use modern ESM import syntax so this is marked as legacy.

With Webpack: Webpack prioritises the ESM import syntax over CommonJS import syntax. So resolve the main field as first: resolve: { mainFields: ["main", / ... / ] },

Manage features depending on the given consent

For "necessary" cookies it is not needed to check whether a user has given any consent.

However, for all other purposes, it must be explicitly checked whether user has given the appropriate
consent category. This must be done before the respective cookie is set.

In case user rejects some (or all) optional consent categories, **you must implement logic to remove current cookies
(as well as localStorage) in your product yourself**, this library does not manipulate with the cookies by default.

| Category | Description |
|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| necessary | Strictly necessary cookies are essential for user to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. These cookies are first-party cookies.
Some examples of strictly necessary cookies: Session cookies, Cookie consent cookies, Load balancing cookies, CSFR tokens, Language selection cookies, Region/country cookies, Performance cookies, Application firewall cookies and JavaScript check cookies.
For these cookies you don't need to check whether user actually has this category. |
| ad | For cookies related to advertising |
| analytics | For analysis and statistics |
| functionality | For extended functionality (not covered by necessary category) |
| personalization | For personalization based on user profiling (recommendation, etc.) |

$3

GTM scripts are managed centrally in LMC, so if GTM of the product is managed by LMC, after implementing this library,
you don't need to worry about conditions when to run them. The library sets all the required data to GTM dataLayer.

However, keep in mind you still need to take care (i.e. delete) of already existing cookies, even of those created by GTM scripts.

$3

To execute custom code which depends on cookie consent use callbacks:

``js
// ...
initLmcCookieConsentManager(
'demo.example',
{
onAccept: (cookieConsent) => {
if (cookieConsent.allowedCategory('functionality')) {
startOptionalFeature();
}
},
}
);
// ...
`

$3

To automatically load external scripts after a specific consent category is given by the user, modify the

`

[👀 This feature is shown in examples][examples].
See also [full documentation][cookie consent third party] for this feature.

This feature is enabled by default. If you'd like to disable it, you can do so by overriding page_scripts value in
config option:

`js
initLmcCookieConsentManager(
'demo.example',
{
config: {
page_scripts: false
}
}
);
`

Configuration

Optional config parameters could be provided on plugin initialization as the second parameter,
encapsulated in the configuration object.

`js
initLmcCookieConsentManager( // when loaded as a module, these options are passed to LmcCookieConsentManager() instead
'demo.example', // provide the name of your service, like jobs.cz, seduo.pl etc.
{
defaultLang: 'cs',
autodetectLang: false,
onAccept: (cookieConsent) => {
// custom code
},
translationOverrides: { // overrides of the default translation for specified languages
cs: { consentTitle: 'Vlastní nadpis', descriptionIntro: 'Vlastní úvodní text popisu souhlasu' },
en: { consentTitle: 'Custom title' },
},
cookieTable: { // cookie table for specified languages, shown in settings modal
cs: {
necessary: [
{ name: 'lmc_ccm', description: 'Cookie je nezbytná k uložení vašich preference týkající se povolených kategorií cookies', expiration: '1 rok' },
{ name: 'PHPSESSID', description: 'Cookie nezbytná ke správnému fungování webu', expiration: 'do konce relace' },
],
// ad: [ ... ],

],
// functionality: [ ... ],
// personalization: [ ... ]
},
en: {
analytics: [
{ name: '_ga', description: 'With Google Analytics we determine how many people visit our website and how they use it', expiration: '2 years' },
// ...
],
}
},
config: {
// overrides of the internal config of the underlying library, see https://github.com/orestbida/cookieconsent/tree/v2.9?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration-options
},
}
);
`

[👀 See extended configuration example][examples-configuration]

Translation of the user interface is provided in the following languages:
- Bosnian (bs)
- Czech (cs)
- German (de)
- English (en)
- Estonian (et)
- Croatian (hr)
- Hungarian (hu)
- Lithuanian (lt)
- Latvian (lv)
- Macedonian (mk)
- Polish (pl)
- Russian (ru)
- Slovak (sk)
- Slovenian (sl)
- Ukrainian (uk)

[👀 See example of each language version][examples-languages]

$3

The library can trigger configured callbacks in various events. They can be used to execute custom functionality,
for example, to enable some feature after user has given consent.

Each configured callback receives cookieConsent parameter - instance of the underlying [cookie consent] library,
which can be used to call [its methods][cookie consent api] or retrieve data from the cookie.

| Callback | Trigger event |
|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| onFirstAccept(cookieConsent) | This function will be executed only once, when the user takes the first action (accept all/only selected/only necessary categories). |
| onAccept(cookieConsent) | Any consent is detected (either given now or after page load if it was already saved previously) |
| onChange(cookieConsent, categories) | Right after the user changes cookie settings. The callback receives also categories object containing arrays of accepted, rejected, and changed categories. |

[👀 See callbacks example][examples-callbacks]

Theming

$3

If your project uses [Spirit Design System], you are almost done!

All you need to do is to add this plugin's SCSS to your Sass pipeline and use it instead of the default CSS:

`scss
// my-project.scss

// Add this line anywhere you import other third-party CSS, possibly somewhere close
// to the end of your stylesheet as it contains CSS selectors with high specificity.
@use '@lmc-eu/cookie-consent-manager/LmcCookieConsentManager';
`

Note: sass v1.23 or higher is required to be able to compile the new Sass modules syntax. You may need to migrate
to [sass][sass] since all other Sass compilers (and the old @import rule) are now [deprecated][sass modules].

$3

A handful of CSS custom properties are available for you to customize the UI to make it match the design of your site.
For example, to change the text color of cookie consent UI, load the default CSS and add the following code
anywhere in your stylesheet (the order of which is not important):

`css
:root {
--lmcccm-text: #333;
}
`

[👀 See theming example][examples-theming]

$3

Default cookie consent design uses Inter font loaded via Google Fonts as shown in the basic example.
If you are not using cookie consent with the default design, additional steps may be necessary for you:

- If your project is built with Spirit Design System, you already have the correct font linked in your HTML or CSS.
- If your project is _not_ built with Spirit Design System, you can switch to any font of your choice:
`css
:root {
--lmcccm-font-family: "Open Sans", arial, sans-serif;
}
`

If you use a custom font like this, make sure you don't load the default Inter font and that you use
only to actually needed domains.

Development and contributing

$3

Install package dependencies:

`sh
yarn install
`

Start local development server:

`sh
yarn start
`

This will make the development server accessible http://localhost:3000/ .

* Javascript module: http://localhost:3000/dist/LmcCookieConsentManager.js
* CSS: http://localhost:3000/dist/LmcCookieConsentManager.css

$3

For commit messages follow Conventional Commits specification with
LMC rules.
The commit message will also be automatically checked as pre-commit hook.

To ensure the code passes linting and code style test run:

`sh
yarn test
`

To fix code style according to Prettier rules run:

`sh
yarn format:fix
`

#### Publishing package

Prepare release using yarn release on a local machine. Check the generated changelog and the bumped package.json`.
Then push to origin. GitHub publish action is then taking care of publishing
