===========
Cookies bar
===========
**Cookies** are small text files sent to your device when you visit a website. They are processed
and stored by your browser and record visitor information like login details, preferences, and
browsing history. **Essential cookies** are necessary for the website to function, while
**optional cookies** are used to analyze behavior or display ads.
Data protection laws require notifying visitors about data collection methods and purposes.
**Cookies bar** fulfill this obligation by informing visitors on their first visit and allowing them
to decide whether to store all or only essential cookies on their device.
.. note::
- Cookies bars are required to obtain visitors' consent for optional cookies only. Consent is not
required for essential cookies.
- Odoo is compliant with `Google consent mode v2 <https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/13695607>`_.
Configuration
=============
To add a cookies bar on your website, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration -->
Settings` and enable :guilabel:`Cookies Bar` in the :guilabel:`Tracking & SEO` section. This
activates :guilabel:`Block tracking 3rd-party services` by default, including social media, video
hosting platforms, and Google services. Click :guilabel:`Add domains to the block list` to include
other external websites. These services remain blocked on your website until visitors accept
optional cookies.
.. note::
Using third-party cookies without a cookies bar does not prevent them from being triggered. Only
the presence of a cookie bar **and** the visitors refusal ensure that these cookies are blocked.
.. _cookies-bar/policy:
Cookies policy
==============
When you enable the cookies bar for your website, Odoo creates the **Cookie Policy** page
(`/cookie-policy`) containing a list of cookies set by default, with their purpose and examples.

visitors expects, such as maintaining the content of their cart, or allowing file uploads.
The website will not work properly without these cookies.

preferred language or region. The website will continue to function without these cookies,
but the visitors experience may be affected.

any specific marketing campaign that brought you to the website. The website will work
without these cookies, but some features or services may not perform optimally.

* - Optional - Advertising & Marketing
- Make advertising more engaging to visitors and more valuable to publishers and advertisers,

install additional cookies on your browser in order to identify you.
