How to get permission for cookies from user in Flask
For what its worth I did this:
Mandate a banner on any page base.html:
{% if cookies_check() %}{# then user has already consented so no requirement for consent banner #}{% else %}{# show a cookie consent banner #}I Consentvar fn = function () {document.cookie = "cookie_consent=true";document.getElementById('cookie-consent-container').hidden = true;};document.getElementById('cookie-consent').onclick = fn;{% endif %}
Inject the function into jijna2 to check the cookies:
@app.context_processordef inject_template_scope():injections = dict()
def cookies_check(): value = request.cookies.get('cookie_consent') return value == 'true' injections.update(cookies_check=cookies_check) return injections
I also used the dev console to detect existing cookies by exploring document.cookies. It seemed the only cookies initially generated were Google Analytics.
