django-cookie-monster

This package gives you two versions of a cookie banner. The simple one is basically just a hint to inform users that you are using cookies. The group version let's your users decide which cookies he needs.

Quickstart

Install django-cookie-monster::

pip install django-cookie-monster

Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'cookie_monster',
    ...
)

Add a type and data property to all script tags that store any cookies.

<!-- before -->
<script>// This is my script</script>

<!-- after -->
<script type="text/plain" data-cookieconsent="the_ID_of_my_group">// This is my script</script>

Settings

Overwrite strings in your settings file. You will find a complete reference below.

COOKIE_MONSTER = {
    'banner': {
        'title': 'My Cookie Banner Title',
    }
}

To switch from standard to group mode you need to specify a list of setting groups.

COOKIE_MONSTER = {
    'cookie_groups': {
        'rows': [
            'Name',
            'Provider',
            'Purpose',
        ],
        'groups': [
            {
                'title': 'Necessary',
                'required': True,
                'cookies': [
                    {
                        'id': 'application',
                        'rows': [
                            'Language',
                            'example.com',
                            'site language',
                        ],
                    },
                ],
            },
            {
                'title': 'Marketing',
                'required': False,
                'cookies': [
                    {
                        'id': 'GTM',
                        'rows': [
                            'Google Tag Manager',
                            'Google.com',
                            'tracking cookie',
                        ],
                    },
                ],
            },
        ],
    },
}

This is an example of a fully customised version of a cookie banner:

COOKIE_MONSTER = {
    'banner': {
        'title': 'My Cookie Banner Title',
        'text': 'This is my custom text with a dynamic <a href="https://example.com/">link</a> to another page.',
        'policy_link': 'contents.utils.my_callable_that_returns_a_dynamic_link_to_the_privacy_page',
        'buttons': {
            'confirm': {'label': 'Accept all cookies'},
            'toggle': {'label': 'Toggle settings'},
            'accept_all_cookies': {'label': 'Accept all Cookies'},
            'accept_all_group_cookies': {'label': 'Accept {groupTitle} Cookies'}
        },
    },
    'accordion_title': '{groupTitle} ({amount})',
    'cookie': {
        'samesite': 'Lax'
    },
    'custom_theme': True,
    'cookie_groups': {
        'rows': [
            'Name',
            'Provider',
            'Purpose',
        ],
        'groups': [
            {
                'title': 'Necessary',
                'required': True,
                'cookies': [
                    {
                        'id': 'application',
                        'rows': [
                            'Language',
                            'example.com',
                            'site language',
                        ],
                    },
                ],
            },
            {
                'title': 'Marketing',
                'required': False,
                'cookies': [
                    {
                        'id': 'GTM',
                        'rows': [
                            'Google Tag Manager',
                            'Google.com',
                            'tracking cookie',
                        ],
                    },
                ],
            },
        ],
