```js
document.addEventListener("cookieyes_consent_update", function (eventData) 
{
    // Check the value in the JSON eventData and perform desired action

```js

```

## Example of CookieYes Event Listener

This example demonstrates the implementation of an event listener on the website to perform the desired action and check if the analytics category is accepted by adding the following snippet to the HTML.

```js
<script>
  document.addEventListener("cookieyes_consent_update", function (eventData)
 {
   const data = eventData.detail;
   if (data.accepted.includes("analytics")) {
      // perform desired action.
    }
  });
  </script>
```

```
[object Object]
```

> If you change or edit the category name, you still have to use the default category name (necessary, functional, analytics, performance and advertisement).
> *For example*, if you rename the “Analytics” category to “Analytique,” you would still need to use if `(data.accepted.includes("analytics"))` instead of if `(data.accepted.includes("analytique"))`.
>

```
[object Object]
```

```js
detail: {
    "accepted": ["necessary","analytics","advertisement"],
    "rejected": ["functional","performance","other"]
}
```

```

```

```js
detail: {
     "accepted": ["necessary","advertisement"], 
     "rejected":["analytics","functional","performance","other"]
}
```
