Manage consent programmatically

This chapter will teach you how to manage the consents of our cookie widget programmatically.

Where are the consents stored?

The entire proof of user consent is stored in the browser's localStorage (the storage key is named dastra-consents) in json format. The propagation of consents depends on it, that's why it's not recommended to directly modify the data of this key

It's not recommended to directly modify the data in the localStorage. Preferably use the Javascript SDK of dastra.

Access to the consent service

The dastra consent service can be accessed in this way:

<script>
dastra = dastra || []
dastra.push(['cookieReady',function(manager){
    console.log(manager.consent)
});
</script>

List of methods available in the consent manager

In manager.consent, you have the following methods:

• open(): opens the consent widget

• close(): close the consent widget

• getAllConsents() : retrieve all consents

• getPurposeConsent(purposeId:number): get consent for a category of cookies

• setPurposeConsent(purposeId:number, consent:bool): set the consent for a category

• getServiceConsent(serviceShortName:string): Retrieves consent for a particular service

• setServiceConsent(serviceShortName:string, consent:bool): Sets the consent for a particular element

Get the list of user's consents (getAllConsents)

Once you access the consent manager, it is very easy to retrieve the consents of the current user:

<script>
dastra = dastra || []
dastra.push(['cookieReady', function(manager){
    // Get the complete consent services list
    var consents = manager.consent.getAllConsents()
});
</script>

The above method returns a list of all the user's consents

[
  {
    "id":"000000-0000000-000000",
    "name": "Service name",
    "purpose": 1,
    "logoUrl": "https://logo-url/img.jpg",
    "privacyPolicyUrl":"",
    "description": "Short description",
    "defaultConsent": true,
    "requiredConsent":true
  },
  ...
]

Query consents by category (getPurposeConsent/setPurposeConsent)

The categories of cookies are represented by the following ids:

Type	Id
Necessary	0
Preferences	1
Analytical	2
Marketing	3
Other	4

<script>
dastra = dastra || []
dastra.push(['cookieReady',function(manager){
    // Get the complete consent services list
    let cookiePurpose = 2; // 2 = Analytic
    let consents = manager.consent.getPurposeConsent(cookiePurpose);
    manager.consent.setPurposeConsent(cookiePurpose, false)
});
</script>

Handle consents by service

To manipulate consents by service, you will need the simplified service name available in the service management interface of your widget.

How to find the simplified name of the service? Go to the service management interface, when editing a service, the simplified name (slug) of the service appears below the cookie name.

Location of simplified cookie name

<script> 
dastra = dastra || []
dastra.push(['cookieReady',function(manager){
    // Get the complete consent services list
    let cookiePurpose = 'google-analytics'; // 2 = Analytic
    let consents = manager.consent.getServiceConsent(cookiePurpose );
    manager.consent.setServicePurpose(cookiePurpose, false)
});
</script>

Example of use

To illustrate this, here is a complete example that allows you to manipulate consents in the browser without using the widget :
