cookie_consent

Filter Hook Privacy

Allows disabling certain features until cookie consent is granted.

When the cookie_consent filter returns false:

Map features are disabled
IP geotargeting is disabled
Youtube videos loaded from youtube-nocookie.com domain

Parameters

$consent

(boolean) default consent value is true

You need to have a working knowledge of Hooks before you get started.

Boilerplate Code

Use the boilerplate code to start using the filter, and add your own logic to modify the first argument and return it.

Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::add('cookie_consent', function($consent) 
{
  // Uncomment line below to view available data passed into hook
  // For JReviews 3.x and earlier use dd instead of fwd_dd
  // fwd_dd($consent);
  
  return $consent;
});

Development & Support

Examples

Disable Features when Consent Not Granted
Disable Features using iReview

This is a generic example that checks for the presense of a cookie named consent_cookie and assumes consent was not granted if the cookie doesn't exist.

Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::add('cookie_consent', function($consent)
{
   $cookieName = 'consent_cookie';
 
   if (! isset($_COOKIE[$cookieName]) )
   {
      return false;
   }
 
   return $consent;
}, 10);

Disable Features using iReview

When using our iReview Joomla template or WordPress theme, the consent cookie is named cookieconsent_status.

Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::add('cookie_consent', function($consent)
{
   $cookieName = 'cookieconsent_status';
 
   if (!isset($_COOKIE[$cookieName]) || (isset($_COOKIE[$cookieName]) && $_COOKIE[$cookieName] !== 'dismiss') )
   {
      return false;
   }
 
   return $consent;
}, 10);
