Accept a single consent type

[carstenjaksch]

Currently the consent gate has a link that revokes consent.

I think this does not make sense because a user wants to accept embeds with that link. Currently it does nothing visible for the user.

In my local environment I added a new method to the consentBanner store:

                accept(handle) {
                    this.data.types.filter((type) => {
                        return type['handle'] === handle
                    }).forEach((type) => type.value = true)
                    this.saveConsent()
                },

This allows to accept a single consent type, like embeds.

Even if someone says the revokeConsent method on that link makes sense, I think an accept function for a single consent type makes the consent banner more flexible.

The link opens the consent banner where users can give their consent + read up on necessary legal stuff, services used etc. What do you mean with this does nothing visible for the user?

I don't think we should auto-grant embed consent by clicking that link and bypassing the banner (and all legal context) altogether.

Ah I see now. I clicked the link always while the banner was visible. In that case, nothing happens.

I enhanced the link a bit:

!$store.consentBanner.getConsent() ? $store.consentBanner.accept('embeds') : $store.consentBanner.revokeConsent()

Open the banner if it is not visible, otherwise accept embeds. Maybe add a second explainer text for the extra state. For example:

Banner is not visible: "Open cookie consent to accept embeds."
Banner is visible: "Accept embeds to view content."

That is more user-friendly I think.

Ah yeah. That makes sense.

That is more user-friendly I think.

That sounds good. I'd gladly merge that in if you want to open up a PR?

Alright, I will open one later today.
