cookiebanner [FREE MODULE] PrestaShop Cookie Consent Banner

[Zohaib-fk]

Hi All,

Greetings of the day.

This prestashop addon helps administrators to show interactive notifications regarding cookies used by stores as per EU Cookie Law compliance on bottom positions with a link to redirect the cookie policy page, management from the back-office with multiple options, and show different messages based on multiple store languages.

Cookies allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their computer and can be used to recognize patterns and tastes of the user. The user’s browser saves cookies on the hard drive only during the current session occupying a minimum memory space and without harming the performance of the user’s computer. Cookies do not contain any type of specific personal information.

In Europe, every website must show a banner to say that you are using cookies. There are different laws in different countries which means actually this banner must be implemented differently. But in most cases, it is enough to have just a banner that the user can close and won't see any more after the page reload.

Cookies enable websites to gather data about visitors and users. Cookies let websites remember you, your website logins, shopping carts, and more.

This module helps to show different language information based on store language. For example, the German language store will have messages in German, and the French language store will have messages in French.

The Cookie Law is a piece of privacy legislation that requires websites to get consent from visitors to store or retrieve any information on a computer, Smartphone, or tablet.
It started as an EU Directive that was adopted by all EU countries in May 2011.
If you own a website, you will need to make sure it complies with the law.

This module is a light, elegant and powerful solution that allows your shop to comply with the European cookie law by informing users that your site has cookies, with a link for more information and understanding customer messages in their own language.

If I'm not mistaken, you module is no longer valid as displaying a simple message is simply not enough. According to the latest privacy laws, the cookie consent must work as on the example below:

[Zohaib-fk]

Hello, mr_absinthe,

Thanks for your message. Showing the banner is okay as per my study. The banner will be shown after 365 days when visitors accept cookies and will not show again when visitors visit the website from the same browser again. The cookie policy link has all details about cookies, their usage, and related information about cookies.

There are different types of cookies like analytic cookies, authentication cookies, cookies used by social networks, and cookies used by external content add-ons. One accepts button for all instead checkbox or option to choose selected cookies by the banner.

I see in your image a checkbox is given for each type of cookie to accept which is fine.In your screenshot options are given for each cookie to accept using a checkbox and in my module one Accept or Ok button for all cookies

I will share the online article and documentation link later to confirm my understanding.

Unfortunately, it isn't. You must block the cookie installation until the user gives his consent.

[mr_absinthe]

Exactly what I was trying to say... just showing the banner is no longer enough. User must be able to select which cookies will be accepted.

[Zohaib-fk]

Thanks for your messages. I will update the module with checkbox options to choose each cookie, Block cookies unless the user gives consent, and Option to deny cookies.

Attached screenshot for reference.

[mr_absinthe]

That would be great! And if you could add some more detailed settings, such as disable for certain countries (USA, UAE, CA, etc.) or SEO protection (prevent bots from seeing the cookie banner) it would be absolutely amazing!

[Zohaib-fk]

Thanks for your message, screenshot, and feature idea.

I will add an option to choose selected countries to show banners and hide from bots.

Hello Zohaib-fk,

You're doing a great job. Unfortunately, according to European legislation, the user has to be able to select which cookies he wants to allow and that no cookie is installed until he approves it. Do you think you could have a version like the one joseantgv and mr_absinthe were talking about anytime soon? Thank you!

[Zohaib-fk]

Hi FCapdevila,

Greetings of the day.

Thanks for your message.

Currently, I have osano integration and work in progress for multiple options to choose.

Below is the osano link for your reference.

Have a nice day.

Hi Zohaib-fk,

your module doesnt work in PS 8.0.0.

Will you update it?
I have not tested it, however deprecated messages also appeared since 1.7.8 in the debug log of PS 8.0

 

[Zohaib-fk]

Hi BlackCrow,

Greetings of the day.

Thanks for your message.

I am working on version 8.0 testing, I see there is an update in the Symfony framework therefore small error.

https://build.prestashop-project.org/news/prestashop-8-0-0-available/

I see it works fine on debug mode when visiting module pages from the back office and disabling debug mode after some time.

Attached screenshot for your reference.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

[BlackCrow]

Thanks @Zohaib-fk, yes right, it was a Symfony Error.

I will try your your module with my shop upgrade to 8.0

[Nepo77]

I tested this module but unfortunatly it just displays a banner, its doesnt block cookies and let the user choose between neecessary and optional cookies,

[Ang34]

Unfortunately, there is still a field at the bottom with the text cookie policy after accepting. Is there already a solution for that? This is especially disturbing on the mobile website...

[Zohaib-fk]

 Hi Friends,

Greetings of the day.

Thanks for your messages.

I have updated the module with the "Compliance Type" option. The first option does not display after accepting.

The second record on the below demo instance is an example of how to configure.

Attached are screenshots for your reference.

The next work in progress is to disable cookies after the decline or deny option chosen by the user. I am working on disabling the cookie option as per the documentation.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Hi,

I downloaded the new Version but the field "Compliance Type" does not show in my settings. 😔

Hi, do you think you'll be able to deliver as per your message and our ideas?

 

 

 

[Zohaib-fk]

Hello mr_absinthe,

Greetings of the day.

Thanks for your message.

I am still looking for a free solution. I need to do research to find a way to block google analytics & many other cookies if visitors choose them by options.

[Nepo77]

Zohaib i followed your Video but the "Compliance Type" Field doesnt show in my settings when adding a new Banner.

[Zohaib-fk]

Hello Nepo77,

Try downloading the module from the below link. I attached the updated module zip file in the first post and attached it to this post as well.

https://www.presta-addons-modules.com/en/free-modules/prestashop-cookie-consent-banner.html

Please uninstall the old version with the delete files option and install the new version module zip file.

Hey Zohaib, I stumbled over this thread - good work.

Maybe this project gives you some inspiration for the consent management (opt-in of services): 

https://github.com/duGuillaume/k_cookies

I haven't tested it and the repo is inactive since 4 years, but the open source project it is making use of is still active and looks promising:

https://github.com/AmauriC/tarteaucitron.js

 

[Yulia Vitun]

for info: tested on PS 1.7.6.5 and 8.0.1

on PS 1.7.6.5: all visually works, expect

• not clear how to change color of the black box and buttons
• location "banner bottom"is actually showing box on top left

 

on PS 8.0.1: "500 Internal Server Error" when trying to go to module manager 

• to resolve, since module manager is not working, manual deletion of the folder .../modules/sfkcookiebanner  via FTP

Hi Zohaib-fk,

thanks for quick reply. 

Question: on PS 8.0.1 I have got an error 500 and had to manually delete folder to restore access to Module Manager (see my previous post)

However I still see link to "Cookie Consent Banner" on the left menu side.

- Could you advise how to completely delete your module from the system on 8.0.1?

Edited March 15, 2023 by Yulia Vitun (see edit history)

[Zohaib-fk]

Hi Yulia Vitun,

Greetings of the day.

When the module uninstall, it deletes entries from 2 tables for the left menu 1. ps_tab and ps_tab_lang

Attached are screenshots for your reference. Please delete module entries from the above table, you can use PHPMYADMIN from cpanel of web hosting to access the database of PrestaShop.

Please PM me, and I will help to solve the problem.

Do you think that you will ever deliver such module?

[Maxflor]

Zohaib-fk

Please, where can I find an updated module with a cookie option? I downloaded the module, but there is no option to select cookies.
Thank you very much

[Zohaib-fk]

Hi Maxflor,

Thanks for your message.

Please check the demo video and screenshot from the first post about how to install, configure and use the module.

I will configure and test the module on the below instance.

Zohaib-fk

Thank you, I have it installed, but the cookie selection does not work for me.
I am attaching a printscreen of the settings and also a display on the website.
It also shows me the module always at the top and not at the bottom as it is set.
Thank you very much for your advice and reply

[Zohaib-fk]

Hi Maxflor,

Thanks for your message.

There is an option named "Choose Position" to choose the Floating bottom left or bottom right position.

I have installed and configured the module on below demo instance for your reference. Attached screenshots.

https://www.hrms-systems.com/presta-addons/admin619j6kpbb/index.php

If you still face difficulties in the configuration of the module, share the back-office details in PM, and I will do it from my end.

 

Edited October 12, 2023 by Zohaib-fk (see edit history)

[Maxflor]

Zohaib-fk- Thanks for the response, the location doesn't work as specified - I'll try to clear the cache to see if it happens to be doing mischief. But we probably misunderstood each other, I would need to make a selection of cookies - as in the attachment.

[Mindz]

Do not use this module, error 500 after install when trying to access the modules in back office.

[ToniF]

Please, is there any way to download the module and make it work? It would be great to have a free module for this, and apparently some people have been able to install it and make it work... any help would be appreciated!
