Question

Looking for a pop up which says cookies are used bit like this :

 

http://cookie-script.com/

 

Just wondering if we have one that i can activate via a plugin or other method please?

There are a lot of free scripts on the web that you could use.

For instance this one :

http://permissionbar.com/

To use it on your site you could :

1) go to Admin ---> Layout --> "Custom HTML at bottom of every page"

2) check it

3) paste this script inside the text area 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://storage.permissionbar.com/permission

bar-latest.min.js"></script>

4) ---> Save Options

Now if you navigate through your website you should see a permission bar at the bottom of the pages.

You could also download the script and copy it directly on your server (see the instructions).

Some other free scripts :

(or search directly on google)

First of all, I love this solution and I'm going to implement it on my site. However, I still have one doubt. What if a user doesn't click on "Accept Cookies"? Will our site not create a cookie until he accepts it? Edit: I just tested this. The cookies are enabled by default. The text should somehow be changed to "by continuing to use this site you agree to the use of cookies" and Accept button should be changed to an ok button.
