 /**
- * `EdsFooter` is a footer component designed for the EBRAINS platform, featuring social links,
- * legal information, and an optional cookie preferences button. It includes a "Back to top"
- * button and displays an acknowledgment for Horizon Europe funding.
+ * EBRAINS-wide default link columns. Used when a consumer doesn't pass
+ * the `columns` prop. URLs are absolute so the same footer renders
+ * correctly from any app's domain (handbook.ebrains.eu, forms.ebrains.eu,
+ * design.ebrains.eu, …) — the previous eds-docs design used relative
+ * paths which only worked from design.ebrains.eu itself.
  *
- * Key Features:
- * - Social Network Links: Optionally display a section for social media links.
- * - Legal and Funding Information: Includes text for legal disclaimers and funding acknowledgments.
- * - Cookie Preferences: Optionally display a "Cookies Preferences" button.
- * - Back to Top Button: Smoothly scrolls the page back to the top when clicked.
+ * If EBRAINS adds / renames a canonical resource, change it here once
+ * and every consumer's footer updates on the next component release.

+ * `EdsFooter` is the EBRAINS-wide footer component.
+ *
+ * Renders a 4-column layout matching the eds-docs landing footer:
+ *   [ Brand (EU flag + funding text + copyright)  |  Resources  |  Community  |  Legal ]
  *
- * This component is ideal for maintaining consistent branding, legal disclaimers, and navigational elements
- * across the EBRAINS platform, with options for social links and a "Back to top" button.
+ * Defaults are designed so a consumer that writes `<eds-footer></eds-footer>`
+ * with no props gets the full canonical EBRAINS footer rendered — same
+ * brand block, same link columns, same dark theme as the eds-docs
+ * landing page. The previous minimal-strip footer is replaced; consumers
+ * that need different link content pass the `columns` prop (array or
+ * JSON-stringified array for HTML attribute use).
+ *
+ * Configurability without breakage:
+ * - All previous props remain (`social`, `variant`, `fundedBy`,
+ *   `rightsReserved`, `enableScrollTop`, `enableCookiesSettings`,
+ *   `cookiesPreferences`, `backToTopAriaLabel`). Their meanings are
+ *   preserved.
+ * - New `columns` prop is optional — omit it for the defaults.
+ * - The `enableCookiesSettings` toggle now decides whether any column
+ *   link with `action: 'cookies'` is rendered (default false; pass
+ *   true to surface the Cookie Preferences entry in the Legal column).
