## What it is
A Laravel package by Spatie that adds a simple, customizable cookie consent banner to help sites comply with the EU cookie law. It displays a dialog on first visit, sets a consent cookie, and hides the banner thereafter.

## Use cases
- add a cookie consent banner to a laravel site
- comply with the eu cookie law
- show a cookie notice dialog to first-time visitors
- customize cookie consent message text and styling
- remember user cookie consent across requests

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, simple consent banner for a Laravel app
- you only need basic accept-and-remember behavior
- you want a well-maintained Spatie package with easy Blade integration

## When to avoid
- you need a decline option or granular consent categories like necessary/marketing
- you must block trackers and cookies before consent is given
- you need full GDPR/TTDSG compliance verified by legal standards

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, middleware, templating
- domain: web-development, privacy, legal
- platform: php
- tags: cookie-consent, eu-cookie-law, gdpr, banner, spatie, laravel-package, laravel, web-server
