CookieJar

CookieJar displays a small, accessible cookie consent banner and lets you set:
* Message & policy link
* Accept & Learn More text
* Position (top or bottom)
* Light or dark theme
* Consent expiration days

It sets a simple cookie (cookiejar_consent=1). You can then conditionally load non-essential scripts (analytics, ads, etc.) only after consent.
