Multilingual support when using GTM

If you would like the cookie banner to change language depending on which part of your website a visitor navigates, e.g. English when visiting "mydomain.com/en/" and Spanish when visiting "mydomain.com/es/", you can control the language in your Google Tag Manager implementation by adding the "data-culture" attribute to the Cookiebot script tag.

Since the value of this attribute needs to change dynamically, you must replace your current Cookiebot tag definition with code that considers the logic between current URL and language, e.g.:

<script>
var CookiebotScriptContainer = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
var CookiebotScript = document.createElement("script");
CookiebotScript.type = "text/javascript";
CookiebotScript.id = "Cookiebot";
CookiebotScript.src = "https://consent.cookiebot.com/uc.js?cbid=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";

var currentUserPagePathname = location.pathname.toLowerCase();
var currentUserPageCulture = "en"; //default to English

if (currentUserPagePathname.indexOf("/fr")==0)
{
 currentUserPageCulture = "fr";
}
else if (currentUserPagePathname.indexOf("/es")==0)
{
 currentUserPageCulture = "es";
}

CookiebotScript.setAttribute("data-culture", currentUserPageCulture);
CookiebotScriptContainer.parentNode.insertBefore(CookiebotScript, CookiebotScriptContainer);

function CookiebotCallback_OnAccept() {
    if (Cookiebot.consent.preferences)
        dataLayer.push({'event':'cookieconsent_preferences'});
    if (Cookiebot.consent.statistics)
        dataLayer.push({'event':'cookieconsent_statistics'});
    if (Cookiebot.consent.marketing)
        dataLayer.push({'event':'cookieconsent_marketing'});
}
</script>

The cbid in the example above should be replaced with your own cbid, available from the 'Your scripts' tab on your Cookiebot account. Please make sure that you are not using the automated blocking mode for your GTM implementation. See the difference in scripts under 'Your scripts' in your Cookiebot account.

Please note that you need to create the corresponding language variants of the banner content in Cookiebot. For instructions on this, please see: How do I set the language of the consent banner/dialog?
