I can't see the cookie toolbar on the frontend, what could be the problem?

If you can't see the cookie consent toolbar in the frontend after the installation of the component, it's likely you have a javascript error/conflict on your website, most probably due to third-party extensions, multiple jQuery inclusion, old libraries, etc. this happens especially on websites with a lot of extensions installed.
It's strongly recommended that you open the browser console (F12) and inspect any javascript error.

You may have installed an extension such as JCH Optimize or a specific template feature to merge all javascript files into a single file thus breaking scripts as in the image below:
multilanguage


If this is the case, you should disable such feature under settings of your template (such as T3, Gantry, Gavick Pro, etc) or configure the exclusion of files used by the GDPR component if possible, in order to preserve the execution ordering of scripts:
• cookieconsent.min.js
• init.js
• user.js
• jquery.fancybox.min.js
• checkbox.js


If you are using JCH Optimize or any other scripts having on-page Javascript errors, you can try to enable following settings:


jch

If you are using JCH Optimize and the auto no conflict mode didn't work, you find below the correct configuration to be applied manually in order to preserve the correct execution order of scripts:

jch

If you are unable to setup this configuration as an alternative you can disable the generic feature to merge all javascript files into a single one:

If you are using a template based on the T3 framework, you can try to add all files used by the GDPR component to the 'Exclude files' list:


t3 template

If you are still on Joomla 2.5 and you have jQuery conflicts, you can try to install the plugin jQuery Easy that may help to fix this kind of issues https://simplifyyourweb.com/downloads/jquery-easy
