# Ensuring data privacy
|
||
|
||
Material for MkDocs makes compliance with data privacy regulations very easy,
|
||
as it offers a native [cookie consent] solution to seek explicit consent from
|
||
users before setting up [analytics]. Additionally, external assets can be
|
||
automatically downloaded for [self-hosting].
|
||
|
||
[cookie consent]: #cookie-consent
|
||
[analytics]: setting-up-site-analytics.md
|
||
[self-hosting]: #built-in-privacy-plugin
|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
|
||
### Cookie consent
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:version 8.4.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:default none -->
|
||
<!-- md:flag experimental -->
|
||
<!-- md:example cookie-consent -->
|
||
|
||
Material for MkDocs ships a native and extensible cookie consent form which
|
||
asks the user for consent prior to sending requests to third parties. Add the
|
||
following to `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
extra:
|
||
consent:
|
||
title: Cookie consent
|
||
description: >- # (1)!
|
||
We use cookies to recognize your repeated visits and preferences, as well
|
||
as to measure the effectiveness of our documentation and whether users
|
||
find what they're searching for. With your consent, you're helping us to
|
||
make our documentation better.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
1. You can add arbitrary HTML tags in the `description`, e.g. to link to your
|
||
terms of service or other parts of the site.
|
||
|
||
The following properties are available:
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option consent.title -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default none --> <!-- md:flag required -->
|
||
This property sets the title of the cookie consent, which is rendered at the
|
||
top of the form and must be set to a non-empty string.
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option consent.description -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default none --> <!-- md:flag required -->
|
||
This property sets the description of the cookie consent, is rendered below
|
||
the title, and may include raw HTML (e.g. a links to the terms of service).
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option consent.cookies -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default none --> This property allows to add custom
|
||
cookies or change the initial `checked` state and name of built-in cookies.
|
||
Currently, the following cookies are built-in:
|
||
|
||
- __Google Analytics__ – `analytics` (enabled by default)
|
||
- __GitHub__ – `github` (enabled by default)
|
||
|
||
Each cookie must receive a unique identifier which is used as a key in the
|
||
`cookies` map, and can be either set to a string, or to a map defining
|
||
`name` and `checked` state:
|
||
|
||
=== "Custom cookie name"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
extra:
|
||
consent:
|
||
cookies:
|
||
analytics: Custom name
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
=== "Custom initial state"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
extra:
|
||
consent:
|
||
cookies:
|
||
analytics:
|
||
name: Google Analytics
|
||
checked: false
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
=== "Custom cookie"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
extra:
|
||
consent:
|
||
cookies:
|
||
analytics: Google Analytics # (1)!
|
||
custom: Custom cookie
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
1. If you define a custom cookie as part of the `cookies` property,
|
||
the `analytics` cookie must be added back explicitly, or analytics
|
||
won't be triggered.
|
||
|
||
If Google Analytics was configured via `mkdocs.yml`, the cookie consent will
|
||
automatically include a setting for the user to disable it. [Custom cookies]
|
||
can be used from JavaScript.
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option consent.actions -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default `[accept, manage]` --> This property defines
|
||
which buttons are shown and in which order, e.g. to allow the user to accept
|
||
cookies and manage settings:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
extra:
|
||
consent:
|
||
actions:
|
||
- accept
|
||
- manage # (1)!
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
1. If the `manage` settings button is omitted from the `actions` property,
|
||
the settings are always shown.
|
||
|
||
The cookie consent form includes three types of buttons:
|
||
|
||
- `accept` – Button to accept selected cookies
|
||
- `reject` – Button to reject all cookies
|
||
- `manage` – Button to manage settings
|
||
|
||
When a user first visits your site, a cookie consent form is rendered:
|
||
|
||
[![Cookie consent enabled]][Cookie consent enabled]
|
||
|
||
[Custom cookies]: #custom-cookies
|
||
[Cookie consent enabled]: ../assets/screenshots/consent.png
|
||
|
||
#### Change cookie settings
|
||
|
||
In order to comply with GDPR, users must be able to change their cookie settings
|
||
at any time. This can be done by adding a simple link to your [copyright notice]
|
||
in `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
copyright: >
|
||
Copyright © 2016 - 2023 Martin Donath –
|
||
<a href="#__consent">Change cookie settings</a>
|
||
```
|
||

||

|
||
|
||
### Built-in privacy plugin
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:sponsors -->
|
||
<!-- md:version insiders-4.9.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:plugin [privacy][built-in privacy plugin] -->
|
||
<!-- md:flag experimental -->
|
||
|
||
The built-in privacy plugin automatically identifies external assets as part
|
||
of the build process and downloads all assets for very simple self-hosting. Add
|
||
the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- privacy
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For a list of all settings, please consult the [plugin documentation].
|
||
|
||
[plugin documentation]: ../plugins/privacy.md
|
||
|
||
!!! tip "Hosting images externally and optimizing them automatically"
|
||
|
||
This option makes the [built-in privacy plugin] an excellent choice for
|
||
when you want to host assets like images outside of your git repository
|
||
in another location to keep them fresh and your repository lean.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, as of <!-- md:version insiders-4.30.0 -->, the
|
||
built-in privacy plugin was entirely rewritten and now works perfectly
|
||
with the [built-in optimize plugin], which means that external assets
|
||
can be passed through the same optimization pipeline as the rest of your
|
||
documentation. This means you can store and edit unoptimized files
|
||
outside of your repository, and let both plugins built a highly
|
||
optimized site for you.
|
||
|
||
If you want to implement separate pipelines, i.e., optimize some images
|
||
differently from others or exclude some images from downloading, you can
|
||
use multiple instances of the [built-in privacy plugin].
|
||
|
||
!!! question "Why can't Material for MkDocs bundle all assets by design?"
|
||
|
||
The primary reason why Material for MkDocs can't just bundle all of its own
|
||
assets is the integration with [Google Fonts], which offers over a thousand
|
||
different fonts that can be used to render your documentation. Most of the
|
||
fonts include several weights and are split up into different character sets
|
||
to keep the download size small, so the browser only downloads what is
|
||
really needed. For Roboto, our default [regular font], this results in [42
|
||
`*.woff2` files in total][example].
|
||
|
||
If Material for MkDocs would bundle all font files, the download size would
|
||
be in the hundreds of megabytes, slowing down automated builds. Furthermore,
|
||
authors might add external assets like third-party scripts or style sheets
|
||
that would need to be remembered to be defined as further local assets.
|
||
|
||
This is the very reason the [built-in privacy plugin] exists — it automates
|
||
the process of downloading all external assets manually to ensure compliance
|
||
with GDPR with some some [technical limitations].

## Customization
|
||
|
||
### Custom cookies
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:version 8.4.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:example custom-cookies -->
|
||
|
||
If you've customized the [cookie consent] and added a `custom` cookie, the user
|
||
will be prompted to accept or reject your custom cookie. Once the user accepts
|
||
or rejects the cookie consent, or [changes the settings], the page reloads[^1].
|
||
Use [additional JavaScript] to query the result:
|
||
|
||
[^1]:
|
||
We reload the page to make interop with custom cookies simpler. If Material
|
||
for MkDocs would implement a callback-based approach, the author would need
|
||
to make sure to correctly update all scripts that use cookies. Additionally,
|
||
the cookie consent is only answered initially, which is why we consider this
|
||
to be a good trade-off of DX and UX.
