Google Analytics & Cookies

This theme ensures your sites are GDPR compliant by giving users to option to not track their site usage. The jQuery.ihavecookies.js plugin allows us to enable cookies if the user explicitly consents with being tracked.

Configuration

The following settings are required in the _config.yml file in order to display the Cookies popup correctly.

google_analytics:

  cookies_popup_description: >
    Cookies enable you to use this website to the full extent and to personalize your experience on our sites. They tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, help us measure the effectiveness of ads and web searches and give us insights into user behavior so we can improve our communications with you.

Managing cookies

This theme uses a Jekyll include to allow your users to remove cookies and their consent once it has been set.

When using the flow layout you can use the custom_include format to display the components/cookie_manager.html include inside of a container row.

Example:

flow:
    - row: container_row
      sections:
        - format: custom_include
          source: components/cookie_manager.html
