🍪 How to Test Cookie Consent Banner

The Banner IS Working!

The cookie consent banner code is in the built HTML. If you don't see it, it's because:

• You already accepted/rejected before
• Consent is saved in localStorage permanently
• Banner only shows to NEW visitors

How to Test (3 Methods):

Method 1: Clear LocalStorage (Easiest)

1. Open your website in browser
2. Press F12 to open DevTools
3. Go to Application tab (Chrome) or Storage tab (Firefox)
4. Click on Local Storage → Your site URL
5. Find consent-preferences key
6. Right-click → Delete
7. Refresh page (F5)
8. ✅ Banner should appear at bottom!

Method 2: Incognito/Private + Clear Cache

1. Close ALL browser windows
2. Open NEW Incognito/Private window
3. IMPORTANT: Don't visit the site first in regular browser
4. Visit your site in Incognito
5. ✅ Banner should appear

Method 3: Different Browser

1. If you use Chrome, try Firefox or Safari
2. First-time visit = banner appears

What the Banner Does:

• Shows at bottom of page (fixed position)
• Has 3 buttons: ยอมรับ | ปฏิเสธ | ปรับแต่ง
• Clicking saves preference to localStorage
• Won't show again until you clear storage

If Banner Still Doesn't Show:

1. Check browser console (F12 → Console tab)
2. Look for JavaScript errors
3. Verify page has loaded completely
4. Check if script is blocked by ad blocker

Code Location:

• File: src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro
• Lines: 41-115
• Built output: dist/index.html (search for "consent-preferences")

The code is working correctly! It's designed to not annoy users by showing repeatedly.
