Blocking Cookies Prior to Consent with the PHP Class

This class allows you to scan a page in PHP and run the automatic blocking of scripts mentioned in this document. You can access the class via direct download or Packagist.

Here is an example of the PHP class integration:

<?php
function iubenda_system( $html, $type = 'page' ) {
  if ( empty( $html ) )
    return;
  require_once( 'iubenda.class.php' );
  // separator
  if ( ! iubendaParser::consent_given() && ! iubendaParser::bot_detected() ) {
    $iubenda = new iubendaParser( $html, array( 'type' => in_array( $type, array( 'page', 'faster' ), true ) ? $type : 'page' ) );
    $html = $iubenda->parse();
  }
  // finished
  return $html;
}

The iubenda_system method verifies if the page visitor consents to the use of cookies. If this is the case, the script returns the HTML provided as a parameter without taking any action such as parsing/replacing.

Simply copy your method into the PHP document and then call it with the following syntax iubenda_system("contenutohtml"); that will return the code.

• Parsing/replacing the portions of code contained within <!--IUB-COOKIE-BLOCK-START--> and <!--IUB-COOKIE-BLOCK-END-->
• Automatic parsing/replacing of iframe that contain defined src
• Automatic parsing/replacing of scripts that contain defined src

These operations take place in accordance with the rules explained in this guide. We suggest that you consult the posts relating to the alteration of script, img and iframe tags.

Please note that at the moment the Privacy Controls and Cookie Solution is optimized to comply with very strict Italian implementation regulations (this can only improve compliance in other jurisdictions).
