This PR updates the existing cookie banner consent form (for Google Analytics) for our RTD docs.

This update brings in updated legal terms and UI consistency to match consent banners across Canonical products.

Changes Made

NOTE: The steps to create this PR are outlined in the https://github.com/canonical/RTD-cookie-banner-integration repo README.

In summary I:

  1. Copied the following files from the https://github.com/canonical/RTD-cookie-banner-integration repo (and did an overwrite of existing files)
  • bundle.js - Handles cookie banner behavior and respects reader's choice
  • cookie-banner.css - Controls styling and placement of the banner
  • header.html - Inserts GA tracking tag on each page
  • footer.html - Provides link for users to change preferences
  1. Updated conf.py to reference the new (and recommended) javascript paths.

Testing Steps

  1. Build the documentation locally
cd docs

make clean
make install
make run
  1. Open the documentation in your browser (use incognito mode or clear cache)

  2. Verify the cookie banner appears as a popup when first visiting the site
