consent variable change before/after accept

[azuska]

Hi,

I apologise for maybe stupid question, but I'm not so JS-oriented so I'm struggling a little bit with following...

I have a retargeting code with a variable "consent" having possible values 0 (false) a and 1 (true) based on cookie consent. Is there a way to have some kind of "default state" and then "on accept" state of this variable or the whole block of code?

I would appreciate something like "beforeAccept" method which would be triggered every time until the consent is given by the user.

I'm aware of allowedCategory method, but it works for me only within onAccept method. I am not able to use this as a condition in outer scope due to refference erros.

Sorry once again, I would appreciate your help with this... Thx in advance!

Hi @azuska,

as far as I understand, you'd like to do something if consent has not yet been given, and something else if user has already given his consent.

You can achieve this currently by using the option mode: 'opt-out' (implicit consent) which allows you to enable specific categories without user's explicit consent and only if the user has not yet taken an action (accept/reject).

Make sure to set all categories — except the necessary category — as disabled by default by setting enabled: false, otherwise you might not be gdpr compliant!

toggle: {
    value: 'necessary',
    enabled: true,          // <-- run all scripts under this category without explicit consent
    readonly: true
}

then you could do something like this:

<!--- The below script will always run -->
<script type="text/plain" data-cookiecategory="necessary">
if(!cookieconsent.allowedCategory('analytics')){
    // do something when the analytics category has not yet been accepted
}
</script>

<script type="text/plain" data-cookiecategory="analytics">
// do something when the analytics category is accepted
</script>

With that being said, I agree that it would be a good idea to have something like beforeFirstAction!
