Installation

Quick Start

Vue 3

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import { createConsentPlugin } from '@structured-world/vue-privacy/vue';
import router from './router';
import App from './App.vue';

const app = createApp(App);

app.use(router);
app.use(createConsentPlugin({
  gaId: 'G-XXXXXXXXXX',
  euDetection: 'auto',
  router: router,  // Enables automatic SPA page tracking
}));

app.mount('#app');

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <ConsentBanner position="bottom" />
    <ConsentPreferenceModal />
  </div>
</template>

VitePress

TypeScript users: Add vue-router as a dev dependency for type resolution: npm i -D vue-router (not needed at runtime)

// docs/.vitepress/theme/index.ts
import DefaultTheme from 'vitepress/theme';
import { enhanceWithConsent } from '@structured-world/vue-privacy/vitepress';

export default enhanceWithConsent(DefaultTheme, {
  gaId: 'G-XXXXXXXXXX',
});

Fire GA4 events from frontmatter:

---
ga4Title: Pricing Page
ga4Event:
  name: view_pricing
  params:
    page_type: pricing
---

Quasar

// src/boot/consent.ts
import { boot } from 'quasar/wrappers';
import { consentBoot } from '@structured-world/vue-privacy/quasar';

export default boot(consentBoot({
  gaId: 'G-XXXXXXXXXX',
}));

CDN / Script Tag

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@structured-world/vue-privacy"></script>
<script>
  const manager = VuePrivacy.createConsentManager({
    gaId: 'G-XXXXXXXXXX',
    euDetection: 'auto',
  });
  manager.init();
</script>

Configuration

interface ConsentConfig {
  // Google Analytics measurement ID
  gaId?: string;

  // Locale for UI text (auto-detected if not set)
  // Supported: en, de, fr, es, it, pt, nl, pl, ru, uk, ja, zh, ko
  locale?: SupportedLocale;

    acceptAll?: string;
    rejectAll?: string;
    customize?: string;
    privacyLink?: string;
    privacyLinkText?: string;

}

Composables

<script setup>
import { useConsent } from '@structured-world/vue-privacy/vue';

const {
  // Consent management
  acceptAll,
  rejectAll,
  hasConsent,
  resetConsent,
  showPreferenceCenter,
  // GA4 event tracking
  trackEvent,
  trackPurchase,
  trackAddToCart,
  trackViewItem,
  trackSignUp,
  trackLogin,
} = useConsent();

// Track custom event
trackEvent('button_click', { button_id: 'hero-cta' });

// Track purchase
trackPurchase({
  transaction_id: 'T12345',
  value: 99.99,
  currency: 'USD',
  items: [{ item_id: 'SKU123', item_name: 'Product', price: 99.99 }],
});
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="showPreferenceCenter">Manage Cookies</button>
</template>

Script Blocking

Block third-party scripts until consent is granted:

<script type="text/plain" data-consent-category="analytics"
        src="https://example.com/analytics.js"></script>

<script type="text/plain" data-consent-category="marketing"
        src="https://example.com/ads.js"></script>

Scripts are automatically unblocked when the matching category is accepted.

Remote Consent Storage

Sync consent across devices with a pluggable backend:

import { createConsentManager, createKVStorage } from '@structured-world/vue-privacy';

// Built-in Cloudflare KV adapter
const manager = createConsentManager({
  gaId: 'G-XXXXXXXXXX',
  storage: createKVStorage('/api/consent'),
});

// Or implement your own
const manager = createConsentManager({
  storage: {
    get: (uid, version) => fetch(`/api/consent?id=${uid}`).then(r => r.json()),
    set: (uid, consent) => fetch('/api/consent', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({ id: uid, ...consent }),
    }).then(r => r.json()).then(d => d.id),
  },
});

Core API (Framework-agnostic)

import { createConsentManager } from '@structured-world/vue-privacy';

const manager = createConsentManager({
  gaId: 'G-XXXXXXXXXX',
});

await manager.init();

// Programmatic consent
await manager.acceptAll();
await manager.rejectAll();
await manager.savePreferences({ analytics: true, marketing: false });

// Preference center
manager.showPreferenceCenter();

// Check state
const consent = manager.getConsent();
const isEU = manager.isEUUser();

// Cleanup
manager.destroy();

EU Detection

Auto (Recommended)

createConsentPlugin({ euDetection: 'auto' })

Tries in order:

1. Cloudflare X-Is-EU-Country header
2. IP API (ipapi.co)
3. Timezone heuristics fallback

Styling

The banner and preference center use CSS custom properties:

:root {
  --consent-bg: #ffffff;
  --consent-text: #1a1a1a;
  --consent-text-secondary: #666666;
  --consent-link: #0066cc;
  --consent-btn-accept-bg: #0066cc;
  --consent-btn-accept-text: #ffffff;
  --consent-btn-reject-bg: #e0e0e0;
  --consent-btn-reject-text: #1a1a1a;
  --consent-font: system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif;
}

Dark mode is automatically supported via prefers-color-scheme.
