vue-cookieconsent-component is a straightforward Vue 2 component designed to display a cookie consent banner, helping websites comply with cookie regulations. Its primary function is to show a configurable message, a 'Got it!' button, and a 'Learn more' link, saving the user's consent status in a cookie. The current stable version is 1.2.0, released in 2017. As the project has seen no significant updates or new releases since then, and given its specific compatibility with Vue 2 (which is now in maintenance/end-of-life status), it is considered abandoned. It offers basic customization through props and slots for message, link, and button content, and allows styling overrides via Sass variables. It differentiates itself as a simple, unopinionated wrapper around basic cookie consent functionality, inspired by `insites/cookieconsent` (v2), without complex features like geolocation or multiple consent types.

This quickstart demonstrates global registration of the cookie consent component and its basic usage in a Vue 2 application's template, including configurable props and CSS import instructions.
For Vue 3 projects, consider actively maintained alternatives like `vue-cookie-accept-decline` (v6.0.0+) or `vue-cookieconsent` by eyecatchup (which also states a Vue 2 compatible version 'vue2-cookieconsent' would be published).
Evaluate the risk of using unmaintained software. For new projects or if active maintenance is required, consider an alternative that is actively supported and compatible with modern Vue versions and web standards.
Ensure your build configuration correctly handles `~` for `node_modules` resolution (common in Vue CLI projects). Alternatively, manually adjust the path if necessary, e.g., `@import '../node_modules/vue-cookieconsent-component/src/scss/cookie-consent';` if your SCSS file is located appropriately relative to `node_modules`.
Globally register the component using `Vue.component('cookie-consent', cookieconsent)` in your main application entry file (e.g., `main.js`), or locally register it in the `components` option of the parent Vue component: `export default { components: { CookieConsent } }`.Change the `@import` statement to use the `~` alias for `node_modules`: `@import '~vue-cookieconsent-component/src/scss/cookie-consent';`. This is a common convention that build tools like Webpack understand for resolving packages. If `~` doesn't work, verify your webpack configuration for `sass-loader` or `css-loader`.
