=== Cookie Warning === Contributors: Dourou Tags: cookie warning, EU cookie law, user privacy, UK cookie law, terms and conditions Requires at least: 3.3.2 Tested up to: 3.6 Stable tag: 1.3 Asks users' consent for using cookies or redirects them out of your site. == Description == To comply with the May 2011 EU cookie law whose enforcement will start in May 2012 for UK website owners, this plugin welcomes your first time visitors with a custom message asking for their consent using cookies on your website and redirects them out of your site if they disagree. It is a solution that strictly complies with the law. You can customize the message displayed as well as the text of the 'I agree' button and of the 'I disagree' link. This plugin was written with the EU cookie law in mind but can be used for any terms and conditions you need your visitors to approve before viewing your site. == Installation == = The easy way = 1. Download the plugin - it will come as a .zip file 2. Log in to your Wordpress dashboard 3. Go to **Plugins > Add new** 4. Under the `Install Plugins` header, click `Upload` 5. Click the `Choose File` button, browse your computer to find the .zip file downloaded at step 1, click `Install now` 6. Click the `Activate plugin` link = The show off way = 1. Download the plugin .zip file 2. Unzip the file 3. Upload the `cookie-warning` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 4. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress == Frequently Asked Questions == = How can I preview the changes I make to my cookie warning message? = The point is to display the message on the user's first visit only, which makes it tricky to preview the changes you make to the cookie warning message... Two ways around that: 1. View your site in a web browser with which you haven't viewed the site yet. 2. Clear your browser of cookies - I know... Any website feature that requires the discrimination between first time and returning visitor needs to rely on... cookies! Hopefully the EU law makes that use of cookies legal. It's just one of its many inconsistencies!! = Where do I go to report bugs and for complaints, moans, suggestions or to sing your praises? = Just send an email to info at majweb dot co dot uk == Screenshots == 1. Cookie warning message on first visit 2. Cookie warning options page == Changelog == = 1.3 = * Fixed cookie clearing bug. = 1.2 = * Fix bug on iPhone. = 1.1 = * Doesn't add '#' to the url anymore when user approves or rejects message. = 1.0 = * Message doesn't appear at all for users who disabled cookies in their browser = 0.3 = * Corrected incompatibility with a series of gallery/slideshow plugins and themes = 0.2 = * Corrected bug so that notification is displayed only once; used to work only of home page visited first. A big thank you to Theo Chung of [http://www.gradtouch.com](http://www.gradtouch.com "Grad touch") for reporting the bug and to John Jameson of [gloocomms.com](gloocomms.com "Gloo communications") for reporting it and offering a solution! == Upgrade Notice == == User guide == = To customize the message displayed = Go to `Settings > Cookie Warning`.
