tarteaucitron.js
Open-source JavaScript cookie consent banner that blocks third-party services until the visitor consents.
tarteaucitron.iorepositorydocs
tarteaucitron.js is an open-source JavaScript cookie consent library. It shows a consent banner, and it keeps configured third-party services blocked until the visitor agrees. A site adds the library folder and a script tag, then calls an init function with its options. The library is published on GitHub and npm under the MIT license.
The author also sells a managed service, tarteaucitron.io Pro, with automatic detection of supported services, an online configuration dashboard and consent statistics.
Worth knowing
Initializing the banner alone does not block scripts that the site already loads elsewhere, and using the library does not by itself make a website comply with the GDPR. The README states both points.
