Consent/cookie management

Cookie consent dialog with category selection

The cookie dialog component now has configuration settings which allows users to give consent for specific cookie categories. Each cookie category has a description and can be marked as required.

ConsentService to manage consent settings

The new service is responsible for:

• opening the cookie dialog;
• updating and storing consent settings locally;
• (optional) informing the backend for record keeping;
• selecting a storage backend based on a combination of predefined settings and user consent;
• migrating data to a new backend when consent settings are changed.

A new interface for ConsentSettings has been introduced which is used to store consent settings in localStorage and includes:

• the version for the data structure;
• the timestamp;
• the consent value for each category.
