Description
The CCK will add a banner to your pages requesting the user to accept or refuse cookies on your site. The banner disappears if the user has indicated a choice. It offers these features:
- Available in 24 languages with automatic language detection
- Allows the webmaster to prevent prior storage of cookies by disabling the widgets that create them, until the user has accepted cookies.
- Disabled widgets will by default display a no-consent message.
- Stores the user’s decision in a .europa.eu domain cookie so that this information can be passed to the next EUROPA site s/he visits.
- Can be integrated on any HTML web page (JavaScript)
- IPG compliant
This is a central service.
The required file to use this service is hosted in folder /wel/cookie-consent/ of ec.europa.eu. See Technical documentation.
What does it do?
The CCK will add a banner to your pages requesting the user to accept or refuse cookies. It disappears when the user has indicated a choice.
When consent is still pending or the user has refused cookies, the CCK can be configured to block the functions and elements that create cookies.
How does it work?
When the page loads, the cookie consent kit searches for a cookie called eu_cookie_consent. This cookie stores the user’s choice and lists his/her accepted and refused cookies. If at least one of the cookies used by your site hasn’t been accepted nor refused, the kit will present the consent banner asking the user to accept or refuse cookies.
The user’s choice is then stored accordingly and the banner disappears.
In-page cookie consent for videos and other iframe content
In case the only consent-required cookies in your site are created by embedded videos and other iframe content, a more user-firiendly alternative is available that only requests consent where such content is embedded. See Cookie Consent Kit for videos and other iframe content.
It functions for iframes that point to these whitelisted domains.
