Fix Accept All button incorrectly recording rejected consent

[fvholten]

Summary

Fixes a critical bug where the "Accept All" button was incorrectly marking all cookie categories as rejected in the consent records instead of accepted.

Problem Description

When users clicked the "Accept All" button on the cookie consent modal, the consent would be processed correctly (cookies would be allowed), but the consent records stored in the database would incorrectly show all cookie categories (necessary, analytics, targeting, preferences) as false instead of true.

Root Cause Analysis

The issue was in the updateConsentRecords function in src/client/index.js (lines 215-218). The function was using a fragile approach to determine accepted categories:

// Problematic approach
necessary_consent: cookie.level.includes('necessary'),
analytics_consent: cookie.level.includes('analytics'),
targeting_consent: cookie.level.includes('targeting'),
preferences_consent: cookie.level.includes('preferences'),

This logic failed to properly detect accepted categories when the "Accept All" functionality was triggered.

Solution

Improved the consent recording logic with a more robust approach:

// Improved approach with fallback
const acceptedCategories = cookie.categories || cookie.level || [];
necessary_consent: acceptedCategories.includes('necessary'),
analytics_consent: acceptedCategories.includes('analytics'),
targeting_consent: acceptedCategories.includes('targeting'),
preferences_consent: acceptedCategories.includes('preferences'),

Changes Made

• Enhanced category detection: Uses both cookie.categories and cookie.level with proper fallback logic
• Improved robustness: Ensures consent recording works regardless of cookie data structure variations
• Maintained compatibility: Preserves existing functionality for all other consent scenarios

Testing

• ✅ Verified "Accept All" now correctly records all categories as accepted (true)
• ✅ Confirmed selective category acceptance still works correctly
• ✅ Ensured existing functionality remains unaffected
• ✅ Built and tested the minified production bundle

Impact

• Users: Consent preferences are now accurately recorded when using "Accept All"
• Compliance: Proper audit trail for GDPR/CCPA compliance requirements
• Analytics: Accurate consent data for reporting and analytics

This fix ensures that consent records accurately reflect user choices, which is critical for legal compliance and data governance.
