How to tag your JavaScript scripts

Tag any JavaScript <script> that you're using by changing type="text/javascript" to type="text/plain".

Then add the corresponding consent level for each tagged <script>. For example: cookie-consent="functionality".

That's it.

Here's an example from Google Analytics and a Login Session script that's loaded with some necessary cookies:


<!-- Login Cookies -->
<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="strictly-necessary" src="/js/login-session.js"></script>

<!-- Google Analytics -->
<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="tracking">
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', GOOGLE_PROPERTY_ID_GOES_HERE, 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>

The following levels are available in our free Cookie Consent solution. Tag your JavaScript using any of the following levels.


Strictly necessary

For example, account login related cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are loaded automatically and cannot be disabled by the user.

<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="strictly-necessary"></script>

Functionality

For example, remember users language preferences or remembering various choices.

<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="functionality"></script>

Tracking and Performance

For example, analytics such as Google Analytics.

<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="tracking"></script>

Targeting and Advertising

For example, Google AdSense/AdWords remarketing.

<script type="text/plain" cookie-consent="targeting"></script>

How can I implement Cookie Consent?

Once you have generated your Cookie Consent banner notice, begin to organize all your JavaScripts by tagging them correctly using the available consent levels: strictly-necessary, functionality, tracking, targeting.

How can I edit the text from the Cookie Consent notice banner?

In the current version (4.0.0) the notice banner cannot be modified as we support multiple translations. Modifying the text in English means you'll have to modify the text in 15+ languages. We're working on a new version of the Cookie Consent that would allow you to modify the text. Stay tuned!

Why do I see weird characters in the Cookie Consent notice banner when using different languages?

You may see weird characters in the Cookie Consent notice banner if your HTML page does not have the meta charset tag added.

You can fix this by adding the charset="UTF-8" parameter:

  1. In the head section of your webpages add: <meta charset="utf-8" />
  2. Add the generated Cookie Consent code in the body section of your webpages
  3. Modify the first line of the generated code to add a new charset="UTF-8" parameter: <script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8" src="//.....

You should also make sure that your code/text editor saves your webpages in UTF-8 and your web server (Apache, nginx) sets the correct encoding.
