Usage

1. Import
2. Initialize
3. Style

1. Import the script

Option A: CDN

It's the simplest way. Just add it to your page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/ez-consent@1/dist/ez-consent.min.js"></script>

Option B: Install

• Using NPM: npm install ez-consent --save
• Or using yarn: yarn add ez-consent
• Or as a git submodule (not recommended):
  • Go to the folder you wish to have the repository
  • Run git submodule add https://github.com/undergroundwires/safe-email

Add it to your page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/node_modules/ez-consent/dist/ez-consent.min.js"></script>

Or you can import ez_consent as a module:

<script type="module">
  import { ez_consent } from './ez-consent/src/ez-consent.js'; // /node_modules/ez-consent/ez-consent.js ...
  ez_consent.init();
</script>

Or import it via webpack, gulp, rollup etc.:

import { ez_consent } from "./node_modules/ez-consent/src/ez-consent"

2. Initialize the script

ez_consent.init();

or with all optional options:

ez_consent.init(
  {
    is_always_visible: false,       // Always shows banner on load, default: false
    privacy_url: "/privacy",        // URL that "more" button goes to, default: "/privacy/"
    more_button: {
      target_attribute : "_blank",  // Determines what the behavior of the 'more' button is, default: "_blank", opens the privacy page in a new tab
      is_consenting: true           // Determines whether clicking on 'more' button gives consent and removes the banner, default: true
    },
    texts: {
      main: "We use cookies",       // The text that's shown on the banner, default: "This website uses cookies & similar."
      buttons:
      {
        ok: "ok",                   // OK button to hide the text, default: "ok"
        more: "more"                // More button that shows the privacy policy, default "more"
      }
    }
  });

The banner will be shown if the user has not yet agreed to read & understand the information. You can also force to show banner always by having force-consent query parameter in URL. E.g. : test.com/fest?force-consent
