Advanced Cookie Consent

A GDPR / ePrivacy-style cookie consent extension for Flarum 2. Free and MIT-licensed.

Shows a clean cookie notice with Accept / Reject / Customize, and a granular Privacy Settings dialog with consent categories and a per-service transparency view — and, crucially, it can gate third-party scripts so they only load after consent.

Features

• Cookie notice banner (bottom bar, corner box, or centered) with Accept, Reject and Customize, plus your Privacy Notice link.

• Granular Privacy Settings modal — per-category toggles (Necessary is always on) with expandable detail, plus a Services tab listing the third-party services and cookies in each category.

• Script gating — two ways to ensure tags only run after consent:

  • Paste scripts per category in the admin panel; they load when that category is accepted.

  • Mark any script on the page as <script type="text/plain" data-cc-category="marketing">…</script> and it activates on consent.

• Admin-defined categories (rename, add, remove, mark required) — defaults: Necessary, Performance, Functional, Marketing.

• Consent versioning — bump the version to re-prompt everyone when your policy changes.

• Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control — optionally auto-reject non-essential categories when the browser sends an opt-out signal.

• Fully stylable — layout (bottom bar / corner box / centered), light / dark / auto theme, custom accent colour, box width and corner radius, so it fits any site and screen size.

• Reopen anytime — a "Cookie settings" link, plus a JS API so a theme can place its own trigger.

• Fully translatable; consent is stored locally (no personal data leaves the browser).
