Implement Cookie Notice, Preference Storage, and Cookie Policy

[0x1026]

To comply with data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR), we need to implement a cookie consent mechanism and create a clear cookie policy. Using the CookieConsent package by orestbida, we will display a cookies notice, store user preferences, and ensure compliance with legal requirements.

Tasks

• [ ] Draft a Cookie Policy
  • Write a detailed cookie policy explaining:
  • The types of cookies used.
  • The purpose of each cookie.
  • How users can manage or revoke their consent.
• [ ] Integrate CookieConsent Package
  • Implement the CookieConsent package to display a cookies notice.
  • Customize the banner’s design and messaging to align with the application’s branding and legal requirements.
• [ ] Implement Preference Storage Logic
  • Use the package's built-in functionality to manage and store user preferences in cookies.
  • Ensure that, even when cookies are declined, a minimal preference cookie is stored to save the user’s choice.
• [ ] Validate Compliance
  • Test the implementation to ensure it adheres to data privacy regulations.
  • Verify that the banner and policy clearly communicate cookie usage and provide easy access to consent options.

Considerations

• The preference cookie must:
  • Contain only the user’s choice (e.g., "accept" or "decline").
  • Be securely handled and have an appropriate expiration date.
• The cookie banner should be non-intrusive but prominently visible to users.
• Include links to the cookie policy within the banner and any relevant documentation.
