New Component: CookiePolicy

Within our project we created a cookiePolicy component to be able to handle acceptance of cookie policies. Example usage:

<pe:cookiePolicy>
    Do you agree with our cookie policy?
    <p:commandButton value="Only essential cookies">
        <pe:saveCookiePolicy policy="essential" retention="#{60*60*24*30}"/>
    </p:commandButton>
    <p:commandButton value="Accept all">
        <pe:saveCookiePolicy policy="essential, statistics" retention="#{60*60*24*30}"/>
    </p:commandButton>
</pe:cookiePolicy>

Here pe:cookiePolicy will only render its children when no cookie policy has been accepted before. Accepted cookie policies are stored within a cookie itself. Via the pe:saveCookiePolicy action one can save the preferred cookie policy.

If there is interest in such component as part of primefaces-extensions, please make some noise here.

@melloware Tested out 11.0.3-SNAPSHOT pe:cookiePolicy and pe:saveCookiePolicy. All seems OK. Started to look at the construction of a showcase, but give me some time here to dig in…

@melloware How it looks like completely depends on the content of pe:cookiePolicy. It’s up to the application to define how to present this cookie policy acceptance. Could be a panel, or a dialog, or some flippy-from-the-bottom thingy. The given example is just to demonstrate the functionality of pe:cookiePolicy. Of course in a real-work app you would make this a bit more sexy I guess.
