FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package protectionbanner
ProtectionBanner
Customizable Laravel Middleware to comply with EU Cookie Law (GDPR) and also protect adult websites from child access.
This software goes the hard way to be sure you comply the law:
- All HTTP requests are captured and a full page banner is shown to the user. This page doesn't use cookies at all, no session is mantained.
- Once the user accepts the condition, a cookie is sent, and user is redirected to the original intended page. All future interactions, proceed as usual. Original GET parameters are passed on to the original request.
- It detects crawlers so SEO , opengraph, reddit, twitter... remains unaffected. They are unaffected by this package.
- There is a whitelist mechanism so you can exclude certain URL from your website from this behaviour too.
Take a look at contributing.md to see a to do list.
Installation
Via Composer
Publish the default config file and default view:
You can now edit default settings in config/protectionbanner.php and use /resources/views/vendor/protectionbanner/banner.blade.php as a boilerplate for your banner.
Usage
You can use any of the following methods to force the banner:
You can either force HTTPS in a single route in for example routes/web.php:
You can also use the automatic MiddlewareGroup register mechanism in config/protectionbanner.php:
Or you can add the Middleware manually as usual in app/Http/Kernel.php in the MiddlewareGroups you require:
Cawler and SEO
This Middleware will disable itself if it detects the agent is any crawler or redditbot, so SEO, Google, and reddit/twitter/opengraph fetches remain unaffected.
This is the cause of the jaybizzle/laravel-crawler-detect dependency. I planned to use GEOIP too at some point to be able to disable it on countries where the cookie law might not be important to comply but this is not implemented yet.
Set active environments
This package will only be active in the environments you specify, by default stage, prod and production, update config/protectionbanner.php if necessary:
URL whitelist mechanism
This package also has a path exclusion mechanism I found useful in my projects. Even if a request is affected by this Middleware, a list of paths is checked, in a "whitelist" spirit, those URLS won't trigger the banner.
You can set this url whitelist in config/protectionbanner.php:
Logging
I don't know if it's of any legal value, but it's possible to log the IP of all accepts of conditions. In config/protectionbanner.php:
You will of course need to add that channel to config/logging.php.
Important notes
If you are using Cloudflare or some kind of proxy to serve your website, you need to make sure you configure TrustedProxy correctly or this Middleware might not work correctly.
Make sure you keep the config file /config/trustedproxy.php up to date, or app\Http\Middleware\TrustProxies.php , variable $proxies.
