Event Broadcasts

You can use this to read user’s consent to cookie categories and services. View our docs on Consent Callbacks & Events ›

​
cc:onFirstConsent

Triggered the first time user expresses their choice of consent (accept/reject). 
window.addEventListener("cc:onFirstConsent", function (event) {
  var detail = event.detail;
  // detail.cookie

  // do something
});

​
cc:onConsented

This event is triggered the very first time the user expresses their choice of consent — just like onFirstConsent — but also on every subsequent page load. 
window.addEventListener("cc:onConsented", function (event) {
  var detail = event.detail;
  // detail.cookie

  // do something
});

​
cc:onUpdate

This event is triggered when the user modifies their preferences and only if consent has already been provided. 
window.addEventListener("cc:onUpdate", function (event) {
  var detail = event.detail;
  /**
   * detail.cookie
   * detail.changedCategories
   * detail.changedServices
   */

  // do something
});

​
cc:onModalShow

The consent modal is visible. 
window.addEventListener("cc:onModalShow", function (event) {
  var detail = event.detail;
  /**
   * detail.modalName
   */

  // do something
});

​
cc:onModalHide

The consent modal is hidden. 
window.addEventListener("cc:onModalHide", function (event) {
  var detail = event.detail;
  /**
   * detail.modalName
   */

  // do something
});

​
cc:onModalReady

The consent modal is created and appended to the DOM. 
window.addEventListener("cc:onModalReady", function (event) {
  var detail = event.detail;
  /**
   * detail.modalName
   */

  // do something
});

​
Actions

​
show

Shows the consent banner. If consent was previously expressed, the consent modal will not be generated; you’ll have to pass the argument true to generate it on the fly. 
CookieConsent.show();

// show modal (if it doesn't exist, create it)
CookieConsent.show(true);

​
hide

Hides the consent banner. 
CookieConsent.hide();

​
showPreferences

Shows the preferences modal. 
CookieConsent.showPreferences();

​
hidePreferences

Hides the preferences modal. 
CookieConsent.hidePreferences();

​
acceptCategory

Programmatically accept or reject a cookie category. 
// accept all categories
CookieConsent.acceptCategory("all");

// reject all (accept only categories marked as readOnly/necessary)
CookieConsent.acceptCategory([]);

// accept currently selected categories inside the preferences modal
CookieConsent.acceptCategory();

// accept only the "analytics" category
CookieConsent.acceptCategory("analytics");

// accept only these 2 categories
CookieConsent.acceptCategory(["analytics", "marketing"]);

// accept all categories except the "analytics" category
CookieConsent.acceptCategory("all", ["analytics"]);

// accept all categories except these 2
CookieConsent.acceptCategory("all", ["analytics", "marketing"]);

​
acceptedCategory

Returns true if the specified category was accepted, otherwise false. 
if (CookieConsent.acceptedCategory("analytics")) {
  // "analytics" category was accepted
} else {
  // not accepted
}

​
acceptService

Accepts or rejects services. 
// accept all services in the 'analytics' category
CookieConsent.acceptService("all", "analytics");

// reject all services
CookieConsent.acceptService([], "analytics");

// accept only specified service and reject all the others
CookieConsent.acceptService("Google Analytics", "analytics");

// accept only these 2 services and reject all the others
CookieConsent.acceptService(["service1", "service2"], "analytics");

​
acceptedService

Returns true if the specified service was accepted, otherwise false. 
if (CookieConsent.acceptedService("Google Analytics", "analytics")) {
  // "Google Analytics" service was accepted
} else {
  // not accepted
}

​
validConsent

Returns true if consent is valid. Consent is NOT valid when at least one of following situations occurs:
  • consent is missing (e.g. user has not yet made a choice)
  • CookieChimp’s cookie does not exist/has expired
  • CookieChimp’s cookie is structurally not valid (e.g. empty)
if (CookieConsent.validConsent()) {
  // consent is valid
} else {
  // consent is not valid
}

​
getUserPreferences

Returns user’s preferences of accepted/rejected categories and services. Type: function(): object 
function(): {
    acceptType: string,
    acceptedCategories: string[],
    rejectedCategories: string[],
    acceptedServices: {[category: string]: string[]}
    rejectedServices: {[category: string]: string[]}
}
Possible acceptType values:
  • 'all'
  • 'custom'
  • 'necessary'
var preferences = CookieConsent.getUserPreferences();

if (preferences.acceptType === "all") {
  console.log("Everything has been accepted!");
}

if (preferences.acceptedCategories.includes("analytics")) {
  console.log("The analytics category was accepted!");
}

​
reset

Resets CookieConsent by dropping all internal pointers and config. You can pass the argument true to delete CookieChimp’s cookie which holds the user’s consent & preferences. The user will be prompted again to express their consent.
Once this method is called, CookieChimp won’t be functional on the page. The webpage needs to be fully reloaded to re-initialise CookieChimp.
CookieConsent.reset(true);

// Reload the page
window.location.reload();
