# django-cookie-consent — Django cookie consent application

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 77.0K/mo

## What it is and what it does

django-cookie-consent is a Django application that handles cookie consent workflows by storing cookie definitions and user consent choices in the database, accessible through Django admin. It supports both opt-in (users must accept before cookies are set) and opt-out (cookies are set unless rejected) consent schemes, and can remove declined cookies or non-accepted cookies depending on the scheme in use.

The package logs when users accept or decline cookies, making it straightforward to track consent history. It also handles re-consent flows when new cookies are added, prompting users to make fresh choices without losing their prior decisions. The core dependencies are django and django-appconf; it requires Python 3.10 or later and is tested against modern Django versions (4.2, 5.2, 6.0).

Use it for:

- Implement GDPR-compliant cookie consent on a Django site with opt-in or opt-out workflows.
- Store and manage cookie definitions (analytics, marketing, functional) in Django admin for non-technical users.
- Log user consent decisions for audit and compliance reporting.
- Automatically re-prompt users when new cookies are added to the site.
- Remove or prevent setting of cookies that users have declined.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

A Django application that manages cookie consent workflows, letting site visitors accept or reject cookies through a configurable consent interface stored in Django models.

Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license. It directly solves a common compliance need (cookie consent) with a Django-native approach. Use it if you need cookie consent management in a Django project and want database-backed, admin-editable cookie definitions.

## Install

pip install django-cookie-consent
uv add django-cookie-consent
poetry add django-cookie-consent

## Installing django-cookie-consent

Before you install: Low friction install with only two runtime dependencies (django and django-appconf). Actively maintained as of June 2026, with recent releases and a stable production status across Django 4.2 through 6.0.

License in practice: BSD-2-Clause-first-lines is a permissive license, allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you must retain the license notice in distributions.

Quickstart:

pip install django-cookie-consent

# In Django settings.py, add to INSTALLED_APPS:
# 'cookie_consent',

# Then migrate:
# python manage.py migrate

# Use in template:
# {% load cookie_consent %}
# {% cookie_consent_banner %}

Requires Django 4.2 or later and Python 3.10+; django-appconf must be installed as a runtime dependency.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package includes a pre-built frontend component (JavaScript/CSS) or requires custom UI implementation.
- Specifics on how cookie removal is enforced client-side versus server-side.
- Whether logging of user consent actions includes audit-trail capabilities for compliance documentation.
