EU Cookie Compliance (GDPR Compliance)

Overview

For Drupal 7 and 10+, this module continues to be maintained. The Klaro Consent Management module is also available and used in the new Drupal CMS. We welcome contributors to help resolve the remaining bugs in this module, and those interested in Klaro are encouraged to join the Klaro issue queue to support improvements in consent handling across Drupal.

If you're on Drupal 8, 9 or 10 prior to 10.2, you should consider upgrading to a Drupal version that supports Klaro. If you, for some reason, can't upgrade to Drupal 10 or beyond, and run into a showstopper bug in this module, please consider volunteering as a maintainer of this module.

History/Usage

This module addresses the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into effect 25th May 2018, and the EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications from 2012. It provides a GDPR cookie banner where you can gather consent from the user when the website stores cookies on their computer or otherwise handles their personal information.

The module offers several methods for getting consent: Consent by default, opt-in and opt-out. It's also possible to only display the banner for visitors from the EU.

Important: This module can only prevent cookies from being set on the current site. External JavaScripts will still be able to set cookies.

Developers

If you want to conditionally set cookies in your module, there is a javascript function provided that returns TRUE if the user has given his consent:

Drupal.eu_cookie_compliance.hasAgreed() where category is optional.

Here is another example showing how to set cookies after the user clicks the accept button: http://drupal.org/node/1624876#comment-6111688

Additional features

EU Cookie Compliance GTM provides functionality for Google Tag Manager.
