Cookies and consent

Features

• A consent banner with “Accept all”, “Necessary only” and “Customise” buttons; “Statistics” and “Marketing” categories.
• Connects Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Yandex Metrica, Matomo and the Meta pixel. Each loads only after consent to its category; Tag Manager receives marketing consent through Consent Mode.
• Plausible sets no cookies and loads right away.
• The banner appears only when an analytics service that needs consent is connected.
• Each ID is checked against its expected format; one that does not match is not used.
• A “Cookie settings” link in the footer lets visitors change their mind.
• The choice is stored in the nx_consent cookie for six months.
• A summary in the admin panel: what visitors chose over 30 days, day by day, and which analytics services are connected.

Configuration

Admin panel → Settings → Consent settings. “Consent banner” group:

• Ask visitors for consent — on by default. When off, analytics load right away.
• Banner layout — a bar at the bottom, a box in the corner or a window in the middle.
• Privacy policy page and Banner text (empty — the built-in text in the visitor's language).
• Ask about marketing cookies — turns on automatically with the Meta pixel.
• Consent version — raise the number after adding an analytics service, and the banner will ask everyone again.

“Analytics and pixels” group: the ID or domain of each service; for Matomo, the address and the site number.

Permissions

• See the cookie consent summary — granted on installation to editors and administrators.

On the site

The banner is embedded in every page; there are no separate pages. The summary is in the admin panel, in the “Cookies & analytics” section of the “Promotion” group.

Installation and removal

Installation creates the consent_stats table: day, choice and count. Removing the module with data deletes it.

Left out on purpose

• A per-visitor consent log: only an anonymised daily summary is stored.
