Duration of CookieConsent 2020

Hello,

Is it possible to change the duration of the CookieConsent-Cookie to a custom duration?

As you must know, in some countries consent cannot be held more than 6 months (not to be confused with the 13 months cookies conservation), it should be possible to ask consent again automatically every 6 months.

The manual renewal of all consents is not precise enough.

Thanks!

  Hi ombline gilliot,

  By default the cookie that remembers a user's consent (CookieConsent) has a lifespan of 12 months.
  But, you could reduce or increase the duration of the CookieConsent cookie by adding this script to the page:

  <script type="text/javascript">
    window.addEventListener("CookiebotOnLoad", function() {
      var cookies = document.cookie.split(";"),
        d = new Date(),
        days = 365, // Define number of days after which the cookie should expire here
        utc = 0;
  
      d.setTime(d.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
      var expires = "expires=" + d.toUTCString();
  
      for(i of cookies) {
        if (i.indexOf("CookieConsent") != -1) {
          utc = i.match(/(?:utc:)(\d{13})/)[1];
          utc && 2500 > utc - Date.now() && (document.cookie = i + ";" + expires + ";path=/");
        }
      } 
    }, false);
  </script>

  However, you could also renew user consents manually from your CookieBot account. Just go to the menu point 'User consents', then choose the domain group and at the bottom of the page, you will find instructions and a button saying 'Renew now'.
