Django GDPR Cookie Consent just got a significant upgrade — with this release, the package becomes more secure, more reliable, and ready for the latest versions of Django and Python.
Here's what's new:
- Stronger security out of the box — the consent cookie now respects your session security settings, and verification uses a modern cryptographic algorithm replacing the outdated MD5.
- Smarter anonymous user handling — when a visitor makes a consent choice before logging in, their record gets linked to their account automatically.
- Cleaner, more reliable data storage — consent choices are now stored as JSON, making database queries dependable and eliminating a class of subtle bugs.
- Django 6.0 and Python 3.14 support — stay current without worrying about compatibility. No more support for Python 3.8 and 3.9.
- Optional setup automation — includes a skill for AI coding assistants (like Claude Code) to automate setup.
Upgrading from v4 takes a single command: install the new version and run your migrations. Everything else is handled for you.
