Localist Default Cookie Policy

When users visit our calendars, they’ll see a notification informing them about our use of cookies and how they enhance their experience. Users will be able to customize their preferences and which cookies they’d like to allow, though first-party cookies essential to the functionality of Localist will always be used.

The pop-up will automatically pull the colors and styling from your platform.

This cookie policy will be enabled for all platforms by default. However, clients who already comply with relevant privacy regulations with their own cookie policy will be able to turn our prompt off as needed.

1. Open the Admin Dash
2. Navigate to Settings
3. Click Platform Settings
4. Enable/Disable Cookie Consent Prompt checkbox
5. Save Changes

Clients can enable or disable the cookie consent prompt in their Platform Settings.

The cookie policy that displays will utilize the platform’s primary button styling.

Implementing Your Own Cookie Consent

If your organization uses its own cookie / privacy policy instead of Localist's default above, you can integrate with our consent management API. This allows your own policy to communicate users' consent status to our system. 

How To

Localist has a JavaScript object exposed for you to use: Slzr.ConsentManager. This object provides methods for managing cookie consent status. Here's how to use it:

Available Methods

• getConsentStatus(): Returns the current consent status
• setConsentStatus(): Sets the consent status to a specified value
• resetConsentStatus(): Resets the consent status (rarely needed)

Consent Status Values

Localist recognizes three possible consent states:

• UNACCEPTED: Initial state before user choice
• NECESSARY_ONLY: User has accepted only necessary cookies
• ACCEPTED: User has accepted all cookies

These are constants defined under Slzr.ConsentManager.ConsentStatus

Example

To set an accepted consent status:

Slzr.ConsentManager.setConsentStatus(Slzr.ConsentManager.ConsentStatus.ACCEPTED)
