React Cookie Manager 🍪

React Cookie Manager is a framework agnostic, easy-use package to help control the visitor's cookie consent.

About 📝

React Cookie Manager reduces the workload of creating and mantaining multiple cookie consents by centralizing them into this package. Enables cookie management of following services:

• Google Analytics Universal. (Deprecated)
• Google Analytics 4.

Features ✨

• Display a customizable popup to accept or reject cookies.
• Create a cookie library showing:
  • Tables with details about site's necessary cookies and additional cookies: cookie name, provider name and url, cookie category, purpose, expiry and type.
  • Radio inputs (allow or reject all cookies) and a button to update preferences.

Installation 🧰

$ npm i @boxfish-studio/react-cookie-manager

yarn

$ yarn add @boxfish-studio/react-cookie-manager

pnpm

$ pnpm add @boxfish-studio/react-cookie-manager

How to use 📝

Configure the Disclaimer

Import the CookieManager into a component in your React app and pass the configuration with your desired theme settings:

// Disclaimer.tsx
'use client'

import { CookieManager, type SKCMConfiguration } from '@boxfish-studio/react-cookie-manager'

export default function Disclaimer(): React.JSX.Element {
	const configuration: SKCMConfiguration = {
		disclaimer: {
			title: 'This website uses cookies',
			body: 'By using this site, you agree with our use of cookies'
		},
		services: {
			googleAnalyticsUniversalId: 'UA-XXXXXXXX',
			googleAnalytics4Id: 'G-XXXXXXXX'
		},
		theme: {
			primary: '#14cabf',
			dark: '#131f37',
			medium: '#b0bfd9',
			light: '#fff'
		}
	}

	return <CookieManager configuration={configuration} />
}

Run custom logic on Accept / Decline

If you need to initialize third-party services, or to run any custom tracking logic depending on the user choice, pass onAcceptCookies or onDeclineCookies to your SKCMConfiguration.

'use client'

import { CookieManager, type SKCMConfiguration } from '@boxfish-studio/react-cookie-manager'

export default function Disclaimer(): React.JSX.Element {
	const configuration: SKCMConfiguration = {
		disclaimer: {
			title: 'This website uses cookies',
			body: 'By using this site, you agree with our use of cookies'
		},
		services: {
			customAnalyticsCookies: [
				{
					name: 'ANALYTICS_' + 'SERVICE_ID',
					purpose: 'Analytics - tracks usage for basic website functionality',
					expiry: '1 year',
					type: 'http',
					showDisclaimerIfMissing: true
				}
			]
		},
		onAcceptCookies: () => {
			// Initialize third-party services here
			console.log('User accepted cookies')
		},
		onDeclineCookies: () => {
			console.log('User declined cookies')
		}
	}

	return <CookieManager configuration={configuration} />
}

Control page navigation

Import the useUpdatePathGA hook and use it with your router of preference:

Example for NextJS with the App router

'use client'

import { useEffect } from 'react'
import {
	CookieManager,
	useUpdatePathGA,
	type SKCMConfiguration
} from '@boxfish-studio/react-cookie-manager'
import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Disclaimer(): React.JSX.Element {
	const pathname = usePathname()
	const updatePathGA = useUpdatePathGA()

	const configuration: SKCMConfiguration = {
		// ...
	}

	useEffect(() => {
		updatePathGA(pathname)
	}, [pathname])

	return <CookieManager configuration={configuration} />
}

Add the CookieManagerProvider

Import the CookieManagerProvider and add it to the list of providers:

// ContextProviders.tsx
'use client'

import { CookieManagerProvider } from '@boxfish-studio/react-cookie-manager'

export function ContextProviders({ children }: React.PropsWithChildren): React.JSX.Element {
	return <CookieManagerProvider>{children}</CookieManagerProvider>
}

Then import it to your layout and add the <Disclaimer /> component:

// layout.tsx

import { ContextProviders } from './ContextProviders.tsx'
import { Disclaimer } from './components'

export default function RootLayout({
	children
}: Readonly<{
	children: React.ReactNode
}>): React.JSX.Element {
	return (
		<html lang="en">
			<body>
				<ContextProviders>
					{children}
					<Disclaimer />
				</ContextProviders>
			</body>
		</html>
	)
}

Show the cookie library

Import the CookieLibrary component to your svelte file and pass the configuration with your desired settings, as shown in the example below.

You can also use the library without any configuration or you can pass a theme to the configuration:

'use client'

import { CookieLibrary, type SKCMConfiguration } from '@boxfish-studio/react-cookie-manager'

export default function CookieLibraryPage() {
	const configuration: SKCMConfiguration = {
		theme: {
			primary: '#14cabf',
			dark: '#131f37',
			medium: '#b0bfd9',
			light: '#fff'
		}
	}

	return <CookieLibrary configuration={configuration} />
}

Using the internal store

You can use the useCookieManager hook to know whether the services are running or not.

import { useCookieManager } from '@boxfish-studio/react-cookie-manager'

export function Component() {
	const { servicesInitialized } = useCookieManager()
	const isRunning = servicesInitialized

	// ...
}
