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.

Laravel Cookies Consent Plugin - Make your Laravel app compliant with the EU GDPR cookie law
Upgrading from v1 to v2
As of October 2024, The v2 of the Laravel Cookies Consent plugin has been released! 🎉🥳😍 In order to upgrade from v1 to v2, please follow the instructions in the How To Upgrade to v2 file.
About the plugin
According to the GDPR law, every platform is required to allow the users to decide which cookie categories they will allow, and, if a cookie category is not allowed, the application should not use the functionality tied to that cookie.
This plugin provides a simple cookie consent window through which the user can specify the cookies they would like to allow.
After the user submission, the page reloads and the relevant cookies are set on the browser, and can then be used in the front-end.
Screenshots
Features
- Customizable cookie categories
- A new configuration file format. Now you can declare the cookies each cookie category uses in a more structured way.
- A new, clean, and intuitive UI for the cookies consent modal.
- An option to present the cookies consent dialog in a separate page instead of a modal.
- A stick cookies button that allows users to change their cookies preferences at any time. This button is optional and it's existence can be tweaked in the configuration file.
- A separate page for the cookies preferences, where users can read more about each cookie category and change their preferences.
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
Make sure to manually publish the styles file, by running:
By doing so, the assets files will be copied to public/vendor/cookies_consent.
IMPORTANT:
You can then either decide to include the public/vendor/cookies_consent/* files to git (especially if you
want
to edit it first), or add it to .gitignore, and make sure to also run this command on the staging/production server.
Next, you need to publish the config file:
The configuration file will be published to config/cookies_consent.php.
Explanation of the configuration file
In the config file, you can change the cookie categories of your application, set the required and pre-selected categories, as well as add new categories.
This is the contents of the published config file:
The cookie_prefix is optional and, if set, will be applied to every cookie.
If set, a good strategy is to also add a trailing underscore "_", that will be added between the field value, and each cookie.
For example, if cookie_prefix is set to my_app_, then the targeting cookie will have a value
of my_app_cookies_consent_targeting.
The display_floating_button field is optional and, if set to true, will display a floating button on the bottom
right corner of the page.
If set to false, then you will need to add a relevant link in your footer, in order to show the cookies preferences
page:
The use_separate_page field is optional and, if set to true, will display the cookies preferences in a separate
page.
You can add as many cookie categories as you like, simply by adding values to the cookies array.
If you want to remove a cookie category, simply remove it from the array.
You can use the enabled array to set the cookie categories that will be pre-selected,
and the required array to set the cookies that the user won't be able to deselect.
If you want to change how long the cookies will be stored, edit the cookie_lifetime variable.
Usage
When the plugin is installed, a laravel-cookies-consent
custom Laravel View Component is automatically registered.
This will render the following cookies consent that, will look very much like this one.
You can then use this component in order to display the cookies consent window, wherever you'd like.
Typically, a good strategy is to put the component just before the closing <body> tag:
After that, you can use the $_COOKIE global object, in order to check for the appropriate cookie.
Now you can use this object in your Blade files like this:
For example, An application that wants to load the Google Analytics script only if the user has given their consent to
the targeting cookie category,
might do the following:
In this example, we checked whether
the $_COOKIE[config('cookies_consent.cookie_prefix') . 'cookies_consent_targeting'] key exists or not.
Customization
Customizing the component texts
If you want to modify the texts shown in the cookies dialog, you can publish the language resource files with this command:
This will publish this file to resources/lang/vendor/cookies_consent/{{lang}}/messages.php.
The plugin comes with 6 built-in languages. You can change the translations for a given language, or add additional languages yourself.
Customizing the "Read more" link
In the cookies dialog, there is also an optional "Read more" link. This link is specified in the language translation files, since it is common to have a different link for each language.
Example (file lang/vendor/cookies_consent/en/messages.php):
If the link is left empty (default state), it won't be shown.
Customizing the component contents
If you need full control over the contents of the cookies dialog, you can publish the views of the package:
This will copy the resources/views/components/laravel-cookies-consent view file over
to resources/views/components/vendor/cookies_consent directory.
Development
In order to locally run the package, you should use a local Laravel application, in which you are going to install it.
Make sure that the composer.json file of the Laravel app has the following entry:
This will tell composer that the code for the package is of the "@dev" version and that it exists in the specified
path.
Then run:
To fetch the local package.
Testing
This project uses Pest for testing. To execute the test suite, run:
FAQ
Question: Is this plugin free to use?
Answer: Yes. This plugin is totally free and developed as an Open-Source project.
Question: How long do the cookies last?
Answer: The duration is set in days, in config/cookies_consent.php file. In order to publish this file, run
The configuration file will be published to config/cookies_consent.php.
Then, edit the cookie_lifetime field (in days).
Question: Will the cookie consent window show every time?
Answer: No. As soon as the user clicks one of the "Accept all", "Accept selection", or "Decline all", the selection will be stored in another cookie, and the window won't pop up again, until this cookie expires, or is deleted.
Question: In which languages is the plugin available?
Answer: The plugin has 6 built-in languages: English, Greek, Spanish, German, Italian, and Swedish. If you would like to add a language, publish the translations by running:
And add/change your own translations. If you add a new language, consider also opening a pull request, in order for this language to be included in the plugin.
Question: Does this plugin work with all Laravel versions?
Answer: We have tested the plugin with Laravel 7, 8, and 9. The plugin's simplicity allows it to work with any Laravel version, but if you try it with a version other that the tested ones and it does not work, please open an issue on GitHub.
Question: If I install later a new cookie category, how can I force the plugin to "reset" and show again?
Answer: The easiest way is to publish the configuration file, and change the cookie_prefix field. This will force
the plugin to show again.
