In short:
- Excludes bots, clients who have DoNotTrack activated, and users who have already declined;
- Runs your custom function if user has already accepted;
- Shows banner, then:
- if user accepts, run custom function and put a cookie to save this acceptance;
- if user declines, remove all Google Analytics cookies and put a cookie to save this rejection.
Features

navigator.doNotTrackJavaScript variable); - Disables banner when visitor is a bot: prevents SEO Engines to confuse your cookie advert message with the main content of your pages;
- Respects all points imposed by CNIL (FR) and these points.
