Adding EU cookie message

So because I’m using Google Analytics and I’m in the EU I need to add a cookie message saying I use cookies to track the user.

It’s a bit of a plague but around long enough now that there’s easy libraries to add it in.

This seems to be a good one and I think it looks nice so I’ll go with that.

It generates a block of code you need to add into your head section so will need to customise the default Jekyll theme minima (or whatever theme you are using I guess)

First create a directory in the root of your blog called _includes

Then copy the head.html from the minima theme into this new directory. To find the location of the minima files use the below if you used bundler and github-pages to set things up.

bundle show minima

Once that’s there it will override the one in the theme so just copy in the code you create from here just above </head> as instructed and you should be good to go.
