Consent Management Platform (Privacy) Market: Wirecookies: GDPR Cookie Consent for Laravel

Zusammenfassung des Signals

Wirecookies is an open-source Laravel package that provides a cookie consent banner, preferences modal, and a simple consent gate via a localStorage object and a DOM event. The package stores user choices in a 'cookie-preferences' localStorage key (categories such as essential, analytics, marketing, functional), and dispatches a bubbling 'wirecookies-saved' event with the preferences as its detail. Wirecookies has no proprietary JS of its own and relies on the companion wiremodal package for modal behavior. Categories and policy URL are configurable via published config/wirecookies.php, and the package is installable via Composer.

Hohe Konfidenz

Practical developer tool for implementing consent gating in Laravel; useful for site compliance but not industry-shifting.

Wichtigste Kernpunkte & Evidenz

  • Wirecookies is a Laravel package installable via Composer: composer require edulazaro/wirecookies.
  • Wirecookies stores consent as a plain object in localStorage under the key 'cookie-preferences', e.g. { "essential": true, "analytics": false, "marketing": false, "functional": false }.
  • The package dispatches a bubbling DOM event 'wirecookies-saved' whose detail is the preferences object.
  • Wirecookies ships no JS of its own and depends on edulazaro/wiremodal for the preferences modal; importing wiremodal's JS is required for Configure and reopen buttons to work.
  • Consent categories and policy URL are configurable by publishing config/wirecookies.php (php artisan vendor:publish --tag=wirecookies-config).
