Anyone in Europe got any suggestions about the cookie law:

http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations … okies.aspx

Those setting cookies must:

tell people that the cookies are there,

explain what the cookies are doing, and

obtain their consent to store a cookie on their device.

This is why we are seeing popups asking if you agree to use of cookies.

What are you using to comply?

I have seen people use Javascript Pop-ups, some use a pull out in the bottom left or right of the screen. But either way the information has to be on there.

This came in May 2011, most national companies are complying.

I am now looking for a simple solution.

You would have thought by now CoffeeCup would have a cookie in their logo and ico

I guess its something we should be asking Coffeecup to make a program for, though i bet they have plans to incorporate it for free into their current programs in future updates

Hi, has anyone implemented a cookie control into their VSD site yet? What did you use? Is there an easy way to add it?

Thanks

Matt

Do you want to use Cookies?

My site does use cookies as it has ads by google adsense. So I am required to have an opt in or out cookie control for visitors. I'm struggling at the moment to find an easy option to add to VSD or a way that is explained simply.

Regards,

Matthew Gordon

Use an onload statement with some javascript.

I think the keywords in my previous comment were "an easy option to add to VSD or a way that is explained simply"

I appreciate your comment Eric, but a description of how to do this simply would be helpful if anyone has any suggestions?

Thank you

Matt

I did a bit of research and I have downloaded jquery file and have this code snippet:

<script src="/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.jss" type="text/javascript"></script>

I downloaded cookiecontrol-5.1.min.js file and I have this code snippet:

<script src="http://www.geoplugin.net/javascript.gp" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/PATH_TO_COOKIE_CONTROL/cookieControl-5.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[

I have added a folder called "js" to "root" and added the jquery file

and I added the cookie control file to "root"

I also deleted the /PATH_TO_COOKIE_CONTROL/ part of the code as I was instructed to

Not sure where to put the code snippets though in VSD.

Any suggestions?

Also, once implemented, if I do a page preview should this work or will it only work once uploaded with FTP?

Thank you.

Matt
