    Under EU cookie law for GDPR it is a requirement to store the record of the acceptance of cookies by a user.

    Where is a user’s acceptance stored?

    Is it in the database somewhere?

    After user accepts the cookies it is stored as cn_cookies_accepted value in user browser.

    OK, I was going to raise this query about GDPR. I am using this “Post Views Counter” plugin so I realised it has to keep track of somethign else it can’t supress repeated views within 24 hours.

    Kindly explain to me if there are any specific steps I have to take on my site for GDPR in relation to this plugin. I do have a Cookie Consent plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/uk-cookie-consent/

    Thanks for explaining.

    Hi,

    First of all, thank you for providing and adjusting this plugin to help us with the GDPR!

    After user accepts the cookies it is stored as cn_cookies_accepted value in user browser.

    Ok, so the user ) the one that is visiting our website ( can check his/hers own browser to see what and where the cookies were stored.) I myself, would not know where to find that. In firefox> Storage Inspector in Developer Tools and select Cookies from the storage tree ) so far was not able to find out where I could find this in Chrome.

    By GDPR we should be able to present the ( by our websites stored cookie data ) if a client/visitor askes for it.
    I have no idea how that should be done?

    Also, when a visitor accepts the cookie notice from this plugin, where can we get to that data, so we can present this to understandable, readable info for that client or visitor?

    Thanks,
    Annie

    I agree. As I see GDPR there needs to be somewhere a log-file with taking note when a user accepted or disallowed 3rd party cookies – including date stamp, ip address, browser information.

    Also it would be highly appricated if there is a link that deletes the cookie and forces the cookie notice to show up again. That link could be placed in the privacy notifications.
