A lightweight jQuery plugin that displays a cookie 🍪 consent message as required by EU regulation. The plugin displays a message on the user's first visit to your website and, by default, again 30 days after their last visit.
The visitor must click the accept button within the popup for the cookie to be set thus granting their consent (GDPR).
Download the latest version and include it within your page along with jQuery (1.7.4 or later).
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.x.x/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ihavecookies.min.js"></script>
Then initialise the plugin using:
$('body').ihavecookies();
This will append the cookie popup to the <body> tag with the default settings and message.
There are a number of options available to help with customisation:
$('body').ihavecookies({
// A custom title for the popup
title: "Cookies & Privacy",
// Add your own cookie message here, if you prefer not to use the
default one. HTML can be included within this message.
message: "Cookies enable you to use shopping carts and to personalize
your experience on our sites, tell us which parts of our
websites people have visited, help us measure the effectiveness
of ads and web searches, and give us insights into user
behavior so we can improve our communications and products.",
// Link to your privacy policy for more information
link: "/privacy-policy",
// Time before the popup is displayed after page load (in milliseconds)
delay: 2000,
// Days for the cookie to expire
expires: 30
});
The plugin doesn't include any CSS so it can be styled to fit in with your websites look and feel. The cookie message has an ID of #gdpr-cookie-message.
When the visitor accepts the message, the cookie cookieControl with value true is set. This will enable you to perform additional checks where necessary within your application (with regard to GDPR regulations).
An example of the cookie consent message can be viewed at https://iamketan.com.au.
