</div>How to use the cookies banner
The ONS cookies banner is displayed when the user has not accepted cookies. It must be placed at the very top of the page, directly above the ONS header.
If you are using the base page template, , place the banner inside the preHeader block. This will ensure that it is displayed before the skip to content link.
It will display if the user hasn’t accepted any ONS cookies via the banner or the cookie preferences page.
The cookies banner component provides default values for all parameters in both English and Welsh. For the English version you don't need to provide any parameters. For the Welsh version, you will need to provide the parameter'lang': 'cy'.
How the cookies banner works
Cookies are grouped by type and have a default boolean value. All but essential cookies are off by default. An initial cookie is set ons_cookie_policy { essential: true, settings: false, usage: false, campaigns: false }
ons_cookie_policy will update when a user accepts all cookies or makes changes via the cookies preferences page. Essential cookies default to true (on) as they allow us to set important cookies such as session cookies that allow a service to work.
Individual cookies need to be added to the cookies-functions.js with key being the cookie name and the value being the cookie group, for example, _ga: 'usage'.
When the user has either accepted cookies or updated cookies preferences another cookie is set ons_cookie_message_displayed: true.
This cookie prevents the banner being displayed while the cookie is present.

How to use
The preferences page uses groups of radio buttons which allow a user to allow or disallow cookies to be set.
Each group of radios must contain a name attribute prefixed with cookies- following with cookieType name, for example, cookies-campaigns. This allows the JavaScript to set the appropriate cookies.
If JavaScript is disabled a message is displayed explaining that JavaScript is required to set and change cookies.
When the form is submitted a success panel is shown to tell the user that their preferences have been updated. The form is handled by JavaScript.
