How to create and manage cookies in WeWeb?

Step 1: Access the WeWeb Project Dashboard

First things first, head over to the WeWeb project dashboard. This is where you handle all your website projects. If you’re not logged in yet, go ahead and enter your credentials.

Step 2: Open Project Settings

Once you're in the dashboard, find the project you want to work on. Click on it to open up the project settings. Easy peasy.

Step 3: Go to the 'Cookies' Section

In the project settings, look for the section labeled 'Cookies'. This is your go-to spot for all things cookie-related.

Step 4: Enable Cookies

Make sure the cookie management feature is turned on. You might need to toggle a switch or check a box to get this going.

Step 5: Create a New Cookie

Click on 'Add New Cookie'. You’ll need to fill out a few fields:

  • Name: What you want to call the cookie.
  • Value: The data the cookie will store.
  • Expiration: How long the cookie should last (in days).
  • Path: Where the cookie can be accessed.
  • Domain: The domain the cookie is valid for.

Step 6: Set Cookie Attributes

Now, set up some extra attributes for the cookie:

  • Secure: Makes sure the cookie is only sent over HTTPS.
  • HttpOnly: Keeps the cookie safe from JavaScript, only allowing HTTP requests.
  • SameSite: Decides if the cookie is sent with cross-site requests (options are usually 'Lax', 'Strict', or 'None').

Step 7: Save Cookie Configuration

Hit the 'Save' or 'Apply' button to lock in your cookie settings. This will create the cookie with all the details you’ve set.

Step 8: Implement Cookie Consent Banner (If Required)

If your site needs user consent for cookies, you’ll want to set up a cookie consent banner. You can usually turn this on in the 'Cookies' section and customize the message for your users.

Step 9: Customize Your Consent Banner

Make the consent banner your own. Change the design, text, and placement. You can tweak colors, fonts, and button texts to match your site’s style. Set up actions for 'Accept' and 'Decline' buttons as needed.

Step 10: Monitor and Manage Cookies

Head back to the 'Cookies' section in your project settings to keep an eye on your cookies. You can edit or delete them as needed and check out user consent data if you have it. Make sure to keep your cookie policy up to date with any changes.
