💡 How to Use

Cookie Dialog

To enable the cookie dialog for all pages, put the following tag anywhere in your layout.antlers.html file:

{{ cookie_dialog }}

[!NOTE] If you have Static Caching enabled, make sure to wrap the {{ cookie_dialog }}, {{ cookie:allowed }} and {{ cookie:denied }} tags in a {{ nocache }} tag to prevent the cookie dialog from being cached:

{{ nocache }}
     {{ cookie_dialog }}
  {{ /nocache }}

This will render a popup dialog that will ask the user to accept or decline cookies. A description text and an example cookie group is provided by default.

You have full control over the dialog content and all cookie settings in the control panel under Tools > Cookie Dialog.

In the "Cookies" tab, you can enable or disable the cookie dialog, set the cookie version, and create or edit cookie groups. Cookie groups have a unique identifier, name and description and can be marked as required and optionally be checked by default. Each cookie group can contain multiple cookies with a name, description and lifetime.

In the "Customization" tab, you can customize the style and content of the cookie dialog, including the title, description, buttons and links to your imprint and privacy policy.

Floating Button

By adding the {{ cookie_dialog_button }} tag to your layout.antlers.html file, you can display a floating button that opens the cookie dialog when clicked. This allows users to change their cookie preferences at any time after the initial dialog has been closed.

{{ cookie_dialog_button }}

Per default, the button is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen. You can change the position of the button and the button text in the control panel under Tools > Cookie Dialog > Customization > Cookie Dialog Button.

Enabling Content based on Cookie Preferences

You can wrap content in a {{ cookie:allowed }} tag to only show it if the user has accepted a specific cookie or cookie group.

{{ cookie:allowed cookies="marketingCookieA|marketingCookieB" }}
    <p>
        This content will only be shown if the user has accepted
        the cookies marketingCookieA and marketingCookieB
    </p>
{{ /cookie:allowed }}

You can also allow content based on one or multiple cookie groups:

{{ cookie:allowed group="marketing" }}
    <p>
        This content will only be shown if the user has accepted 
        the cookie group "marketing"
    </p>
{{ /cookie:allowed }}

{{ cookie:allowed group="marketing|statistics" }}
    <p>
        This content will only be shown if the user has accepted
        the cookie groups "marketing" and "statistics"
    </p>
{{ /cookie:allowed }}

Once the user has accepted the cookies, the content will be dynamically loaded without the need to reload the page.

This works with all types of content, including images, stylesheets, and scripts:

{{ cookie:allowed cookies="marketingCookieA|marketingCookieB" }}

{{ /cookie:allowed }}

Enabling Fallback Content if Cookies Are Not (Yet) Accepted

You can wrap content in a {{ cookie:denied }} tag to only show it if the user has not accepted a specific cookie group or cookie. This content will be displayed by default until the necessary cookies are accepted.

You can filter by cookies or groups in the same way as with the {{ cookie:allowed }} tag.

{{ cookie:denied cookies="marketingCookieA|marketingCookieB" }}
    <p>
        Please enable the cookies marketingCookieA
        and marketingCookieB to see this content
    </p>
{{ /cookie:denied }}

{{ cookie:allowed cookies="marketingCookieA|marketingCookieB" }}
    <p>
        This content will only be shown if the user has accepted
        the cookies marketingCookieA and marketingCookieB
    </p>
{{ /cookie:allowed }}

The content inside the {{ cookie:denied }} tag will be dynamically removed once the user has accepted the cookies.

[!IMPORTANT] When using the {{ cookie:allowed }} and {{ cookie:denied }} tags or the JavaScript API, a cookie group is regarded as allowed only if all cookies in the group are accepted by the user.

This is not to be confused with the toggle switches in the cookie dialog: When any of the individual cookie toggles in a group are selected, the group toggle is automatically activated to indicate to the user that they have accepted a cookie from this group, but the group is not considered allowed until all cookies in the group are accepted.

Hiding the Cookie Dialog on Specific Pages

When you put the {{ cookie_dialog }} tag in your layout.antlers.html file, the dialog will be shown on all pages by default. To hide the cookie dialog on specific pages (e.g. on the privacy policy page), you can set the hidden parameter depending on the page's URL or other conditions:

{{ cookie_dialog :hidden="current_uri == '/privacy-policy'" }}

By using the hidden parameter, you can still show the cookie dialog on the page later using the JavaScript API. If you want to completely disable the cookie dialog on certain pages, you can wrap the {{ cookie_dialog }} tag in a conditional statement:

{{ if current_uri != '/privacy-policy' }}
    {{ cookie_dialog }}
{{ /if }}

Iterating over Cookie Groups and Cookies

You can iterate over all cookie groups and cookies in your cookie configuration using the {{ cookie_groups }} tag. This can be useful if you want to display a table containing information about all the cookies used on your website (e.g. on a dedicated privacy policy page):

<table>

  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Description</th>
      <th>Lifetime</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    {{ cookie_groups }}
      {{ cookies }}
        <tr>
          <td>{{ cookie_identifier }}</td>
          <td>{{ cookie_description }}</td>
          <td>{{ cookie_lifetime }}</td>
        </tr>
      {{ /cookies }}
    {{ /cookie_groups }}
  </tbody>

</table>

Dark/Light Mode

Per default, the cookie dialog will automatically be displayed in dark or light mode based on the user's operating system settings. If you don't want to use the automatic mode, you can select a specific color mode in the control panel under Tools > Cookie Dialog > Customization > Theme.

To toggle between dark and light mode dynamically, you can also add or remove the es-dark class in the <html> tag of your website with JavaScript:

document.documentElement.classList.add('es-dark'); // Enable dark mode
document.documentElement.classList.remove('es-dark'); // Enable light mode

🧩 JavaScript API

This addon also provides a JavaScript API that allows you to interact with the cookie dialog and the cookie preferences.

The JavaScript API is accessible through the global CookieDialog object when a {{ cookie_dialog }} tag is present on the page.

Triggering the Cookie Dialog Manually

You can trigger the cookie dialog manually with JavaScript by calling the following global function:

CookieDialog.showDialog()

This will open a non-blocking dialog that gives the user the option to change their cookie preferences. Per default, the page will be reloaded after the user has saved their new cookie preferences to apply the changes to content wrapped in {{ cookie:allowed }} or {{ cookie:denied }} tags. If the user closes the dialog without saving, if there are no changes to the cookie preferences, or if the content can be dynamically injected without a page reload, the page will not be reloaded.

You can explicitly override this default reload behaviour:

  • To prevent the page from reloading, pass false as a parameter.
  • To force reload the page when the cookie preferences have changed, pass true as a parameter
CookieDialog.showDialog(false) // Prevent page reload after saving cookie preferences

We recommend putting a button or link on your website that allows the user to change their cookie preferences at any time. This can be done by calling CookieDialog.showDialog() when the button is clicked:


<button onclick="CookieDialog.showDialog()">Change Cookie Preferences</button>

Accessing the Cookie Preferences

You can access the user's cookie preferences as stored in the browser cookie via CookieDialog.cookiePreferences. This object contains the version, timestamp, and all accepted cookies grouped by cookie group, e.g.:

{
    "version": "1",
    "timestamp": 1724072915147,
    "cookies": {
        "marketing": {
            "marketingCookieA": true,
            "marketingCookieB": true
        },
        "statistics": {
            "statisticsCookieA": true,
            "statisticsCookieB": false
        }
    }
}

The cookie preferences object conforms to the following TypeScript interface:

interface CookiePreferences {
    version: string;
    timestamp: number;
    cookies: {
        [cookieGroup: string]: {
            [cookieName: string]: boolean;
        };
    };
}

You can also get a list of all currently accepted cookies with CookieDialog.allowedCookies (string[]) and a list of all currently accepted cookie groups with CookieDialog.allowedGroups (string[]).

🔢 Cookie Versioning

You can set a cookie version in the cookie settings (under Tools > Cookie Dialog). This version will be stored in the visitor's browser cookies and will be checked against the current version in the cookie settings. When the version is updated, the cookie dialog will be shown again to all users, even if they have already accepted the cookies.

🔐 Access Control (Permissions)

If you want to allow only certain users to access the cookie dialog settings in the control panel, make sure to set the manage cookie dialog permission for a user's role. You may also manage this permission under the "Permissions" section in the control panel.

🌐 Translations

You can customize the translations of the cookie dialog by creating a new language file in the resources/lang directory of your Statamic project. The language file should be named [lang].json, where [lang] is the language code of the translation (e.g. en for English or de for German).

In the translation file, you can define the mapping of the default English texts to your desired language (see https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/localization#using-translation-strings-as-keys for further information).
