Cookies and GDPR

Could you please describe in a little more detail why this is the ultimate solution for a cookie banner? I own both stacks but cannot get my head around it all…

@Lukh

I know all the stacks concerning the respect of cookie laws and, in my opinion, the best one both for functionality and simplicity is Cookie Jar, now at version 3:

• just insert a CookieJar instance for each section of cookies, scripts and anything you want to require consent.
• at each instance insert the respective classes, you decide the name of the class, to cancel, or accept, or decline, or discard. Example for comments and social networks (cookiejar-social-accept, cookiejar-social-decline, cookiejar-social-clear etc.), for youtube and vimeo videos (cookiejar-video-accept, cookiejar-video-decline etc.).
• you can use the buttons you want (I use the best ones, those from Source :) ), just insert the classes to accept, decline, etc. in the space of the CSS Classes button, or in custom attributes (name:class) (value: cookiejar-video-accept).
• a modal at the page entry with these buttons, in the modal insert the content class (for example I put cookiejar-video-content and cookiejar-social-content) in such a way as to make the modal disappear once the classes are applied .
• the very useful Raincheck (to be purchased separately) which by inserting the cookiejar instance ID is able to display or not, accepting or declining, the stacks inside Raincheck.

…In my opinion… the best one both for functionality and simplicity

Thanks for that fast and extensive answer, highly appreciated! Am I right that after one did accept certain cookies not you cannot change your decision afterwards? So that you can click on some “adjust-cookie-settings-button” and allow one or two certain cookies although you did decline these initially?

[Lukh]

with the classes it has available you can do whatever you want, i.e.:
accept all cookies example videos, comments…
then think again and decline the comments but keep the video cookies…
then think again and block all video cookies… and only accept comments…
then think again and block all cookies…
then think again and accept them all…

You have the custom classes available that you apply you have buttons to manage cookies inside the cookiejar… you can place the buttons wherever you want

very simple

Thanks so much @Lukh for these thorough explanations. Will help me (and others) a lot for sure!
