Basic Use

To enable the default consent popup:

Add our {{ AltCookies:Toast }} tag before the closing </body> tag
Add a way to change the preferences, up to you here, but for example, <button onclick="{{ AltCookies:reset }}">Cookie Preferences</button>
You're away!!

To configure Google Analytics :

Navigate to your Control Panel > Alt Cookies
Head to the Google tab
Simply enter your Google Tag ID
Add our consent popup or make sure the Alt Cookies scripts are loaded if you're doing a custom popup

To configure other tracking :

Navigate to your Control Panel > Alt Cookies
Head to the General tab
Add your <script> tags for other tracking here in the appropriate boxes.
Note that Analytics and Advertising can be toggled.
These will then get put on page according to the consent level the user agreed to.
Necessary cookies always appear on page
WARNING : These fields place what you put in them onto the page. Please check for errors and make sure that the code you put in here is safe.

Advanced Use

To build a custom cookie popup:

Open up your master Template.antlers.html or equivalent
Add our {{ AltCookies:Scripts }} tag to your popup view.
You'll need an "Accept" and "Accept Necessary" button.
The "Accept" button needs to have {{ AltCookies:accept }} in it's onclick
The "Accept Necessary" button needs to have {{ AltCookies:decline }} in it's onclick
You will then need at least 2 checkboxes to configure analytics and advertising cookies.
The Analytics checkbox requires an id of alt-cookies-analytics for the Javascript to hook into
The Analytics checkbox requires an id of alt-cookies-advertising for the Javascript to hook into
If you just want to allow Necessary and All cookies as your options, then you could hide these checkboxes and give them the checked property. They just need to exist.
