Nice work!

I had to add an extra if-statement.
I've added: if (typeof window !== 'undefined') { before: // @ts-ignore
Because window was not yet defined when loading.
This fixed it.

If i run this code in debugger of visual studio, the cookie banner dissapears.

If i run this code, runing "npx nuxi build" and then "node .output/server/index.mjs" runs!!

Any idea??

Any chance we can get the vanilla-cookieconsent to run in SSR mode?

I think SSR would increase pagespeed for the user and would increase the time we can track the user because with SSR the website gets served with the accepted tracking code etc.
