Cookie Notice

Below are a list of options of the plugin. Be sure after selecting the options to scroll to the bottom and save.

Message: Enter the messages in the textbox. HTML markup can be used to further customize the text.

Button Text: The text entered here will be displayed inside the button. HTML markup cannot be used.

More Info Link: When selected this option displays several sub-options that direct users to get more information on your Cookie policy. The Read More button text can be customized and users can be directed to a specific link by selecting “Custom Link” or a specific page by selecting “Page Link”.

When “Page Link” is selected a drop-down box of all the site’s pages appear.

Link Target: This option specifies how the More Info Link is displayed when the button is clicked by a user. If _blank is selected, it opens the page in a new window or tab. If _self is selected, it takes you directly to the page.

Refuse Button: This option specifies what text to display in the button. When selected two other options appear. One option allows for the custom refuse usage text. This text-box does not html markup.

The other option is a text-box for JavaScript code such for Google Analytics. This kind of code is called Non-functional cookies. These are cookies used to track user behavior on your site. If the refuse button is enabled, JavaScript code will need to be inserted into the text-box. This plugin will hold the JavaScript code until a user selects either “Ok” or “No”. If a user selects “No” the Javascript will not run. If the user selects “Ok” the Javascript code will run and the user will be tracked on the site. If a user selects “Read More” the JavaScript code will not run.

Note that the image below displays the notice when all buttons (Button, Refuse, More Info) have been enabled.

On Scroll: This option enables the acceptance of the cookies while the user scrolls. After user scrolls a defined number of pixels, the notice will be treated as accepted and the cookie notice bar will disappear.

Cookie Expiry: This option specifies how long a cookie should be stored for. When selected a drop-down menu with expiration times appear.

Script Placement: This option specifies where he Javascript code should be placed. If page loading time is a concern, scripts should be placed in the footer.

Deactivation: This option will remove all plugin data if the plugin is deactivated.

Position: This option specifies the location of the Cookie Notice, either at the top or the bottom. Note, if “On Scroll” is enabled the position will be fixed. The default position for the notice is the footer.
