Requirements

• Contao 5.7 or newer

Installation

Via Contao Manager or Composer:

composer require numero2/contao-cookie-consent

Insert Tags

Use these insert tags directly in your Contao templates and content elements to control cookie consent dependent output.

Examples

{{ifoptin::6}}<p>You have accepted ACME cookies.</p>{{ifoptin}}

{{ifnoptin::6}}<p>Please accept ACME cookies to see this content.</p>{{ifnoptin}}

Styling

Colors

Colors can be customized via CSS custom properties. Example:

cc-cookie-consent, cc-cookie-optin {
    --cc-accent: #f47c00;
}

A full list of available CSS custom properties can be found in contao/templates/styles/cc_default.html.twig.

Color scheme

By default, both elements follow the color scheme defined by the user's operating system or browser. If your page layout requires a specific scheme, it can be enforced via a custom template:

{% extends '@Contao/frontend_module/cc_cookie_consent.html.twig' %}

{% set attributes = attrs(attributes|default)
    .set('color-scheme', 'light')
%}

Developer API

This bundle exposes helper utilities to check cookie consent status programmatically - both in PHP/Symfony and in Twig templates.

PHP / Symfony

Inject the numero2_cookie_consent.util.cookie_consent service into your controller or service:

// src/Controller/MyCustomController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use numero2\CookieConsentBundle\Util\CookieConsentUtil;

class MyCustomController
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly CookieConsentUtil $cookieConsentUtil
    ) {}

    public function __invoke(): void
    {
        // Returns true if the tag with ID 6 has been accepted
        $this->cookieConsentUtil->isTagAccepted(6);

        // Returns true if the tag with ID 6 has NOT been accepted
        $this->cookieConsentUtil->isTagNotAccepted(6);

        // Generates a link that triggers the consent dialog
        $this->cookieConsentUtil->generateConsentForceLink();
    }
}

Twig

Three global Twig functions are available:

{# Show content only if tag ID 6 was accepted #}
{% if cc_tag_accepted(6) %}
    <p>Analytics is enabled.</p>
{% endif %}

{# Show content only if tag ID 6 was NOT accepted #}
{% if cc_tag_not_accepted(6) %}
    <p>Please enable Analytics to see this content.</p>
{% endif %}

{# Render a link that opens the consent dialog (optional: custom CSS ID) #}
{{ cc_consent_force_link('customCSSId') }}

HTTP-Cache

Should work as expected for other Contao entities such as content elements, modules, articles, pages, etc. This means that whenever a tag or tag group is created, edited, or deleted, the corresponding cache entries will be invalidated.

However, be aware that we do not support cache invalidation based on function usage, e.g. $this->cookieConsentUtil->isTagAccepted(<id>), or in Twig {% if cc_tag_not_accepted(<id>) %}. Also, the insert tag {{ifoptin::<id>}} can only affect the rendered markup based on the tag configuration itself.

Disclaimer

Cookie storage

This bundle manages cookie consent on behalf of your Contao installation. Any cookies set during the consent process belong to your website - no data is transmitted to or stored by us.

The following cookies are set by this bundle:

Consent Logs

This bundle does not maintain any server-side logs of individual user consent. As the extension does not require user accounts, it is technically impractical to link a consent decision to a specific individual or IP address. Instead, user consent - or rejection - is recorded exclusively via a cookie stored on the user’s device. This approach ensures that consent can be reliably verified for each user while avoiding the storage of personal data on the server, in line with GDPR principles of data minimization and privacy by design.

Legal stuff

Please use this bundle at your own risk. Whether your specific setup is legally compliant is something we cannot assess - if you're uncertain, a lawyer is the right contact. For technical questions, though, we're happy to help.
