This package adds a simple, customizable cookie consent message to your site. When the site loads, the banner appears and lets users consent to cookies. Once consent is given, the banner hides and stays hidden.

**What this package does not:**
- Include an option to 'Decline' all cookies, which might be required.
- Block trackers and cookies before consent. You need to handle this yourself.
- Include options for different consent categories like "Necessary" or "Marketing".

For more advanced cookie consent options in Laravel, consider these alternatives.

## Support us

[](https://spatie.be/github-ad-click/laravel-cookie-consent)

We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source). You can support us by [buying one of our paid products](https://spatie.be/open-source/support-us).

We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on [our contact page](https://spatie.be/about-us). We publish all received postcards on [our virtual postcard wall](https://spatie.be/open-source/postcards).

## Installation

You can install the package via composer:

``` bash
composer require spatie/laravel-cookie-consent
```

The package will automatically register itself.

Optionally you can publish the config-file:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\CookieConsent\CookieConsentServiceProvider" --tag="cookie-consent-config"
```

This is the contents of the published config-file:

```php
return [

/*
* Use this setting to enable the cookie consent dialog.
*/
'enabled' => env('COOKIE_CONSENT_ENABLED', true),

/*
* The name of the cookie in which we store if the user
* has agreed to accept the conditions.
*/
'cookie_name' => 'laravel_cookie_consent',

/*
* Set the cookie duration in days. Default is 365 * 20.
*/
'cookie_lifetime' => 365 * 20,
];
```

The cookie domain is set by the 'domain' key in config/session.php, make sure you add a value in your .env for SESSION_DOMAIN. If you are using a domain with a port in the url such as 'localhost:3000', this package will not work until you do so.

## Usage

To display the dialog all you have to do is include this view in your template:

```blade
//in your blade template
@include('cookie-consent::index')
```

This will render the following dialog that, when styled, will look very much like this one.

![dialog](https://spatie.github.io/laravel-cookie-consent/images/dialog.png)

The default styling provided by this package uses TailwindCSS v2 to provide a floating banner at the bottom of the page.

When the user clicks "Allow cookies" a `laravel_cookie_consent` cookie will be set and the dialog will be removed from the DOM. On the next request, Laravel will notice that the `laravel_cookie_consent` has been set and will not display the dialog again

## Customising the dialog texts

If you want to modify the text shown in the dialog you can publish the lang-files with this command:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\CookieConsent\CookieConsentServiceProvider" --tag="cookie-consent-translations"
```

This will publish this file to `resources/lang/vendor/cookie-consent/en/texts.php`.

```php

return [
'message' => 'Please be informed that this site uses cookies.',
'agree' => 'Allow cookies',
];
```

If you want to translate the values to, for example, French, just copy that file over to `resources/lang/vendor/cookie-consent/fr/texts.php` and fill in the French translations.

### Customising the dialog contents

If you need full control over the contents of the dialog. You can publish the views of the package:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\CookieConsent\CookieConsentServiceProvider" --tag="cookie-consent-views"
```

This will copy the `index` and `dialogContents` view files over to `resources/views/vendor/cookie-consent`. You probably only want to modify the `dialogContents` view. If you need to modify the JavaScript code of this package you can do so in the `index` view file.

## Using the middleware

Instead of including `cookie-consent::index` in your view you could opt to add the `Spatie\CookieConsent\CookieConsentMiddleware` to your kernel:

In Laravel 11 open /bootstrap/app.php and register them there:

```php
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
$middleware->append(\Spatie\CookieConsent\CookieConsentMiddleware::class);
})
```

In Laravel 9 and 10 you can add them in app/Http/Kernel.php:

```php
// app/Http/Kernel.php

class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
protected $middleware = [
// ...
\Spatie\CookieConsent\CookieConsentMiddleware::class,
];

// ...
}
```

This will automatically add `cookie-consent::index` to the content of your response right before the closing body tag.
