CookieCuttr
A tailorable jQuery plugin to deal with the EU Cookie Law.
We're not accepting any more pull requests, someone else is working on a new version at the moment, when its ready, we'll link it here.
Dependencies
Useage
Add jquery.cookiecuttr.js
, after jQuery and jQuery.cookie, and cookiecuttr.css
to the head of your HTML document. Then call CookieCuttr on document ready.
$(document).ready(function () { $.cookieCuttr(); });
For any JavaScript you want to disable, you need to wrap the following if statement around it.
if (jQuery.cookie('cc_cookie_accept') == "cc_cookie_accept") { // insert the code you do not want to run UNTIL cookies are accepted here }
Example with Google Analytics
if (jQuery.cookie('cc_cookie_accept') == "cc_cookie_accept") { var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document. getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); }
Alternatively, you can do the following until cookies are declined.
if (jQuery.cookie('cc_cookie_decline') == "cc_cookie_decline") { // do nothing } else { var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document. getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); }
You can also do the following.
if( $.cookieAccepted() ) { // insert the code you do not want to run UNTIL cookies are accepted here }
