CuttACookie

A tailorable jQuery plugin to deal with the EU Cookie Law. This project is for the continuing development of https://github.com/weare2ndfloor/cookieCuttr, weare2ndfloor has stopped development on the project. The project will be kept functionally compatible to cookiecuttr, so replacing your existing cookiecuttr.js with ours will work if you set cookieCuttrCompatible in the options to true.

Dependencies

• jQuery
• jQuery.cookie

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
}
