Add a Cookie Banner to the Website

Cookies can be used to uniquely identify a person, which means that they represent personal data. In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), it is required to let website visitors and customers know what types of cookies will be used, and allow them to choose which ones they want to agree to. Implied consents and consents given simply by visiting a website are not enough.

To comply with the GDPR policy, OroCommerce enables you to set up a Cookie Banner with your custom text to be displayed in the storefront of the OroCommerce website, and translate it into your preferred language.

Add a Cookie Banner

To set up a cookie banner:

1. Download the OroCommerceCookieBannerBundle archived file.

2. Unpack the downloaded file to {application_name}/src/Oro/Bundle.

3. Run the following commands:

   For dev mode

   rm -rf var/cache/*
   php composer.phar install --prefer-dist --no-dev
   php bin/console oro:platform:update --env=prod --force
   php bin/console oro:message-queue:consume --env=dev
   

   For prod mode

   rm -rf var/cache/*
   php composer.phar install --prefer-dist --no-dev
   php bin/console oro:platform:update --env=prod --force
   php bin/console oro:message-queue:consume --env=prod
   

4. Reload the application in the browser.

Add a Translation

To add a translation to the cookie banner to present information in the desired language:

1. Run the following command:

   php bin/console oro:translation:load --env=prod
   

2. In the back-office, navigate to System > Localization > Translations.

3. Using filters, locate following translation keys:

   • oro_cookie_banner.text
   • oro_cookie_banner.button_label

4. Add translation for the banner text and label.

5. Click Update Cache on the top right.

6. Once cache is updated, the translated banner will be displayed in the storefront.
