Tools for the Cookie Dialog Compliance project. Chrome extension + PHP backend using the Fat-Free Framework.

Cookie Dialog Compliance (formerly Dark Patterns Project)

Chrome extension

• In chrome-extension/js/conf.example.js, set the constant API_URL to the URL of your own backend and rename the file to conf.js.
• To install the extension, open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/. Switch on Developer mode in the upper right corner. Click on the button Load unpacked in the toolbar that appears, and point to the chrome-extension directory.

Backend

• Set the correct environment variables in backend/application/example.env and rename the file to .env.
• Put the contents of the public_html directory in the public root of your host (this may be called public_html, www, or something similar).
• Put the application directory on the same level as the public_html directory.
• Make sure the full path of the application directory is listed in PHP's include path. Usually this looks something like /home/username/domains/example.com/application.
• Install the dependencies using Composer by running composer update (using composer.json) or composer install (using composer.json locked to the versions in composer.lock).
