* feat: add GDPR cookie consent banner
Add a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner that gates analytics (Google
Analytics) and functional cookies (comments) until user consent is given.
Features:
- Theme-consistent styling using CSS variables (light/dark mode)
- Settings panel with category toggles (necessary, analytics, functional)
- Consent stored in cookie for 365 days
- Google Analytics only loads after analytics consent
- Comments only load after functional consent
- Translations for all 32 supported languages
- Accessible with proper ARIA attributes and focus management
Configuration in hugo.yaml:
params:
cookies:
enabled: true
categories:
analytics: true
functional: true
When cookies.enabled is false, scripts load normally without consent gating.
Closes#412
* refactor: move consent-gated GA to cookies/analytics.html
Move Google Analytics consent logic to avoid shadowing Hugo's internal
`_internal/google_analytics.html` template.
Changes:
- Rename google_analytics.html → cookies/analytics.html
- Update head.html to conditionally load:
- cookies.enabled=true: cookies/analytics.html (consent-gated)
- cookies.enabled=false: Hugo's _internal/google_analytics.html
- Align cookies/analytics.html with Hugo's internal template:
- Support Privacy.GoogleAnalytics.Disable setting
- Support Privacy.GoogleAnalytics.RespectDoNotTrack setting
- Add UA- prefix deprecation warning
Note: Custom JS is required for consent-gated GA because Hugo templates
render at build time, but consent happens at runtime. We cannot call
Hugo's internal template after the user grants consent - we must
dynamically inject the GA script via JavaScript.

* style: format i18n toml files

* fix: preload Google Fonts to reduce layout shift
Move font loading from footer JS to head with preconnect and preload
hints. This reduces CLS by ensuring fonts load earlier in the page
lifecycle instead of being dynamically inserted after footer loads.
* style: reorder custom font inclusion in head template
