Navigating Cookie Consent Solutions in ExpressionEngine 5

In the digital landscape, providing users with a transparent cookie consent mechanism is essential for complying with various privacy laws, such as GDPR. If you are using ExpressionEngine 5 (EE5) and looking for effective cookie consent solutions, you’ve come to the right place. This article will explore the built-in options and guide you on how to create a sticky footer for your cookie consent form.

The Challenge: Built-in Limitations

While ExpressionEngine offers a cookie consent module, it lacks some practical features, like CSS to position the consent form at the bottom of the page. This limitation might leave you searching for alternative solutions or custom implementations.

What You Need

A basic understanding of how to manage templates in ExpressionEngine.

A willingness to customize some HTML and CSS for the desired effect.

Solution Overview: Custom Implementation

Fortunately, EE5 provides flexibility in how you manage cookie consent. Follow these organized steps to create a customized cookie consent notification that will appear only when necessary.

Step 1: Create the Cookie Consent Div

Add a div container in your template for the cookie consent message. To ensure this message only shows for users who have not granted consent, you can use a conditional statement in your EE5 template.

Here's a simple code snippet that demonstrates this:

Feel free to customize the colors, padding, and alignment to fit your website's design.

Step 3: Add JavaScript for Interaction

To enhance the functionality, you can add some simple JavaScript. This will handle the clicks on the accept and decline buttons and store the user's choice using cookies or localStorage.

Conclusion

Implementing a cookie consent solution on your ExpressionEngine 5 website doesn't need to be daunting. By using a mix of EE5's built-in tools and some custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you can create a compliant and user-friendly consent management experience for your visitors.

Whether you choose to stick to built-in options or explore third-party software, remember that the key is to prioritize transparency and user trust. Happy coding!
