Usage with CookieConsent

[nitanmarcel]

How can I use this with CookieConsent?

The cookies are sent as soon as the page loads and the consent popup is up.

I've tried doing this to set cookie_consent to false when the page loads:

  <script>
      document.cookie = "cookie_consent=false; path=/; max-age=31536000";
  </script>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/orestbida/cookieconsent@3.0.1/dist/cookieconsent.css">

then set it to true once the consent is granted:

  <script
      type="text/plain"
      data-category="analytics">
      document.cookie = "cookie_consent=true; path=/; max-age=31536000";
  </script>

But the analytics are send no matter if cookie_consent is true or false, or even if it exists:

  umami {
  	event_endpoint "https://example.com/api/send"
  	website_uuid "1234"
  	allowed_extensions "" .html .htm
  	trusted_ip_header X-Forwarded-For
  	cookie_consent cookie_consent
  	cookie_resolution
  	device_detection
  }

Can you try this again with the latest commit 7dc7b29?

This release also changes the behavior to only send analytics when the cookie is set to true (as opposed to disabling analytics when the cookie is set to false, as it was previously), which is more in line with privacy expectations and avoids the need to set cookie_consent=false when the page is initially loaded entirely.
