Install-Package BytexDigital.Blazor.Components.CookieConsent.NET >= 5.0
Add the CookieConsentHandler your App.razor, wrapping around the Router component, like so:
<BytexDigital.Blazor.Components.CookieConsent.CookieConsentHandler>
<Router AppAssembly="@typeof(App).Assembly">
<Found Context="routeData">
<RouteView RouteData="@routeData" DefaultLayout="@typeof(EmptyLayout)" />
<FocusOnNavigate RouteData="@routeData" Selector="h1" />
</Found>
<NotFound>
<PageTitle>Not found</PageTitle>
<LayoutView Layout="@typeof(EmptyLayout)">
<p role="alert">Sorry, there's nothing at this address.</p>
</LayoutView>
</NotFound>
</Router>
</BytexDigital.Blazor.Components.CookieConsent.CookieConsentHandler>Add the following css include to your index.html/_Host.cshtml file.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="_content/BytexDigital.Blazor.Components.CookieConsent/styles.min.css" />Installing the font
By default, the components use the following order of fonts
Inter var, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"Inter is the font used in the screenshots. If you wish the components to use this font, import the inter font by additionally adding the following CSS link:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://rsms.me/inter/inter.css" />Add the required services in your Program.cs/Startup.cs and configure cookie categories present in your application. The library implicitly adds a necessary (value of constant CookieCategory.NecessaryCategoryIdentifier) category. For example:
builder.Services.AddCookieConsent(o =>
{
o.Revision = 1;
o.ConsentModalPosition = ConsentModalPosition.BottomRight;
o.ConsentModalLayout = ConsentModalLayout.Cloud;
o.ConsentSecondaryActionOpensSettings = false;
o.Categories.Add(new CookieCategory
{
TitleText = new()
{
["en"] = "Google Services",
["de"] = "Google Dienste"
},
DescriptionText = new()
{
["en"] = "Allows the integration and usage of Google services.",
["de"] = "Erlaubt die Verwendung von Google Diensten."
},
Identifier = "google",
IsPreselected = true,
Services = new()
{
new CookieCategoryService
{
Identifier = "google-maps",
PolicyUrl = "https://policies.google.com/privacy",
TitleText = new()
{
["en"] = "Google Maps",
["de"] = "Google Maps"
},
ShowPolicyText = new()
{
["en"] = "Display policies",
["de"] = "Richtlinien anzeigen"
}
},
new CookieCategoryService
{
Identifier = "google-analytics",
PolicyUrl = "https://policies.google.com/privacy",
TitleText = new()
{
["en"] = "Google Analytics",
["de"] = "Google Analytics"
},
ShowPolicyText = new()
{
["en"] = "Display policies",
["de"] = "Richtlinien anzeigen"
}
}
}
});
});For now, localization is done entirely inside the configuration of the services as seen in the example above. The library ships with default texts in English and German.
The library uses the current CurrentCulture by default. Blazor's .AddLocalization(..) will automatically set the current culture. We aim at adding proper support for IStringLocalizer aswell, so that all localization can be done inside resource files instead.
To overwrite which font to use, set the following CSS rule:
.cc-font-overwrite {
font-family: "your-font";
}If you wish to use services like Google Analytics, you can integrate them with this library the following way. This will make it so the script tags do not get run unless allowed to do so by the user.
- Change the script tags type attribute from
type="text/javascript"totype"text/plain". - Add the attribute
data-consent-category="IDENTIFIER". - Replace
IDENTIFIERwith the Identifier given to a configured category. In the example given earlier, this could begoogle.
Blazor Server Important note: It appears as though when using Blazor Server, Javascript-tags require the
defer="true"attribute to be set so that the script tag is not removed by Blazor upon load (view issue).
The result should look like so:
<script type="text/plain" data-consent-category="google">
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>This Google Analytics script will only load if given permission.
You can use the prebuilt component to show content only if given permission in a category. This can be useful for displaying iframes, for example Google Maps or YouTube videos:
<CookieConsentCheck RequiredCategory="google">
<Allowed>
<iframe loading="lazy" allowfullscreen src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?q=place_id:ChIJAVkDPzdOqEcRcDteW0YgIQQ&key=..."></iframe>
</Allowed>
</CookieConsentCheck>You can customize what this component will render when the given RequiredCategory is not allowed by defining a NotAllowed tag. By default, the component will render this:
Defining something custom to render can be done the following way. It's a good idea to set the Context parameter on the CookieConsentCheck component so you can easily access it's properties inside your custom NotAllowed block (for example the Component.Category property to access the display name of the required category).
<CookieConsentCheck RequiredCategory="google" Context="Component">
<Allowed>
<h1>It works!</h1>
</Allowed>
<NotAllowed>
<button @onclick="async () => await Component.AcceptRequiredAsync()">Show it!</button>
</NotAllowed>
</CookieConsentCheck>Call the following method to show the preferences menu. This could be done from an element inside your footer for example.
