Hey friends, today in this blog you’ll learn how to create a Cookie Consent Box using HTML CSS & JavaScript. In the earlier blog, I have shared how to Detect Internet Connection using JavaScript. I’ve also already shared many JavaScript Projects that can help in your project so don’t forget to check out.
A cookie is a small text file with small pieces of data (maximum size of 4KB) that the web server stores on the client computer/browser. Cookies help to ensure the user gets the best experience on the website. This blog will show how you can set cookies to the user browser as a cookie consent box using javascript.
At first, there is a cookie consent box on the web page, which you can see in the above preview image. There is a cookie image, header, short description, button to accept cookies, and a hyperlink for more details about this cookie in this box. This cookie box won’t hide even if you reload the page until you accept the cookies for your browser.
Once you accept the cookie by clicking on the I understand button then the cookie box will hide and won’t show again until you manually remove the cookie of this site from your browser or it’s not expired. In case you block this site from setting cookies to your browser or this consent box can’t set cookies to your browser then there will appear an error alert box. Cookies in this consent box set will be automatically expired after one month but you can increase or decrease the time duration according you want.
Video Tutorial of Cookie Consent Box in JavaScript
In the video, you have seen the demo of this cookie consent box and how I created it using HTML CSS & JavaScript. All design layouts are created using HTML & CSS and to set cookies to the user browser I used a little bit of JavaScript codes. If you’re a beginner then you can also create this type of cookie consent box or you can edit our codes and can take it to the next level.
As you know, nowadays every website uses a cookie to show you relevant ads, information and if you have also a site or project then you can use this cookie box after changing few lines of codes. I hope you love this cookie consent box and the codes to set cookies to the user browser.
