Introduction

astro-cookie-consent is a small Astro component plus a handful of plain JS functions for:

  • Showing a cookie consent banner (single accept/decline, or per-category toggles).
  • Actually blocking third-party scripts until the visitor accepts — gateScript() never injects a <script> tag until consent is given.
  • Reading and reacting to the visitor’s choice anywhere else on the site.

It has no runtime dependencies, ships as plain .astro/.js source (compiled by your own project’s Astro pipeline), and adds nothing to your node_modules beyond itself.

What it isn’t

Section titled “What it isn’t”
  • Not a full consent management platform. There’s no built-in geo-detection, no consent string (TCF/GPP) support, no vendor list. If you need IAB-standard consent signaling for ad exchanges, you likely need a dedicated CMP.
  • Not legal advice. It’s a mechanism — you’re still responsible for what your privacy policy says, which categories you declare, and gating the right things behind the right category. See GDPR-related features for what the package does and doesn’t help with.
