Symfony bundle to append Cookie Consent to your website to comply to AVG/GDPR for cookies. This bundle is tested for Symfony 5. The style works with Bootstrap 5. Bassed on fatalnetwork/symfony-cookie-consent-bundle
In a Symfony application run this command to install Cookie Consent bundle in your application
composer require chanondb/symfony7-cookie-consent-bundle
In a Symfony application run this command to install Bootstrap in your application
npm i bootstrap --save-dev
Include the bundle to your project
return [
// ...
Chanondb\CookieConsentBundle\CookieConsentBundle::class => ['all' => true],
// ...
];
Configure your Cookie Consent with the following possible settings
cookie_consent:
categories: # Below are the default supported categories
- 'analytics'
- 'marketing'
- 'preferences'
use_logger: true # Logs user actions to database
http_only: true # Sets HttpOnly on cookies
form_action: $routeName # When set, xhr-Requests will only be sent to this route. Take care of having the route available.
csrf_protection: true # The cookie consent form is csrf protected or not
disabled_routes: ['privacy', 'imprint'] # defined controller route names where cookieConsent will not be shown by default
When not using symfony flex, enable the bundles routing manually
cookie_consent:
resource: '@CookieConsentBundle/Resources/config/routing.yaml'
When enabled SassLoader in your webpack.config.js add the scss file from bootstrap to your project
@import '~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss';
Copy the stimulus controller from Resources/assets/controllers/cookie_consent_modal_controller.js to your controllers folder inside your application (usually /assets/controllers/cookie_consent_modal_controller.js)
When you set new js oder style (css or scss) files you have to make a rebuild of your public assets
npm run dev
When using logger you have to make a migration file
php bin/console make:migration
After that you can migrate the changes
php bin/console doctrine:migration:migrate
Load the cookie consent in Twig via render_esi ( to prevent caching ) at any place you like
{{ render_esi(path('cookie_consent.show', {
route: app.request.attributes.get('_route')
})) }}
{{ render_esi(path('cookie_consent.show_if_cookie_consent_not_set')) }}
If you want to load the cookie consent with a specific locale you can pass the locale as a parameter
{{ render_esi(path('cookie_consent.show', {
locale: 'en',
route: app.request.attributes.get('_route')
})) }}
{{ render_esi(path('cookie_consent.show_if_cookie_consent_not_set', {
locale: app.request.locale
})) }}
Instead of using render_esi() you can use the render() function
{{ render(path('cookie_consent.show', {
route: app.request.attributes.get('_route')
})) }}
{{ render(path('cookie_consent.show_if_cookie_consent_not_set')) }}
The stimulus controller needs to implement eg. base.html.twig, make sure the modal is inner this controller
<div id="root" {{ stimulus_controller('cookie_consent_modal') }}>
{# ... #}
</div>
You can set more links for opening the modal like this
<a href="#" {{ stimulus_action('cookie_consent_modal', 'show') }}>Cookies</a>
When a user submits the form the preferences are saved as cookies. The cookies have a lifetime of 1 year. The following cookies are saved
- Cookie_Consent: date of submit
- Cookie_Consent_Key: Generated key as identifier to the submitted Cookie Consent of the user
- CookieCategory[CATEGORY]: selected value of user (true or false)
AVG/GDPR requires all given cookie preferences of users to be explainable by the webmasters. For this we log all cookie preferences to the database. IP addresses are anonymized. This option can be disabled in the config.
The following TwigExtension functions are available
cbcookieconsent_isCategoryAllowedByUser check if user has given it's permission for certain cookie categories (return bool)
{% if cbcookieconsent_isCategoryAllowedByUser('analytics') == true %}
...
{% endif %}
cbcookieconsent_isCookieConsentSavedByUser check if user has saved any cookie preferences (return bool)
{% if cbcookieconsent_isCookieConsentSavedByUser() == true %}
...
{% endif %}
cbcookieconsent_isCookieConsentOpenByDefault check if the modal view has to open for the user (return string)
{% if cbcookieconsent_isCookieConsentOpenByDefault(string current_route, array disabled_routes) == 'true' %}
...
{% endif %}
You can add or remove any category by changing the config and making sure there are translations available for these categories.
All texts can be altered via Symfony translations by overwriting the CookieConsentBundle translation files. Use the privacy_route variable inside language files to define the definied route names inside your controller.
CookieConsentBundle comes without an own styling, it is styled from bootstrap. A sass file is available in Resources/assets/css/cookie_consent.scss and a build css file is available in Resources/public/css/cookie_consent.css for customization. Each element has a unique class name, so you can change everything.
Copy the file Resources/assets/css/cookie_consent.scss into your project style folder, eg. /assets/styles/cookie_consent.scss and include this scss file into your /assets/styles/app.scss
@import './cookie_consent.scss';
Include the stylesheet in your template, eg. /templates/base.html.twig
{% include "@CookieConsent/cookie_consent_styling.html.twig" %}
By loading Resources/public/js/cookie_consent.js the cookie consent will be submitted via ajax.
When a form button is clicked, the event of cookie-consent-form-submit-successful is created. Use the following code to listen to the event and add your custom functionality.
document.addEventListener(
'cookie-consent-form-submit-successful',
function (e) {
// ... your functionality
// ... e.detail is available to see which button is clicked.
},
false,
)
You can override the templates by placing templates inside your project (except for Symfony 5 projects):
# app/Resources/CookieConsentBundle/views/cookie_consent.html.twig
{% extends '@!CookieConsent/cookie_consent.html.twig' %}
{% block title %}
Your custom title
{% endblock %}
You can override the templates by placing templaces inside you project as below. Be careful, it is important to place templates at this location: "app/templates/bundles/CookieConsentBundle/" .
# app/templates/bundles/CookieConsentBundle/cookie_consent.html.twig
{% extends '@!CookieConsent/cookie_consent.html.twig' %}
{% block intro %}
Your custom intro
{% endblock %}
