Hi,
All website used in the EU must now comply with the "Cookie Law" gaining users consent to store cookies (including anything of a smilar function).
Cookies or similar devices must not be used unless the subscriber or user of the relevant terminal equipment:
(a) is provided with clear and comprehensive information about the purposes of the storage of, or access to, that information; and
(b) has given his or her consent.
With this in min how can I include a pop-up message in the bottom right of the screen that will appear on any page if it is the users first visit and they have not accepted. Sample message:
The XXXXXX Party will place cookies on your computer to help us make this website better.
To find out more about these cookies, see our privacy notice.
Use of this site confirms your acceptance of these cookies.
You can see an example of what I wish to achieve at labour.org.uk other examples may be found at http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/10205-20-examples-of-eu-cookie-law-compliance those that show a link only to a statement are not sufficient acceptance must require a positive action.
I did consider the use of the splash page feature but this is to obtrusive.
Thanks,
NJ
Hello Nathan,
UPDATE: 11/20/18
There are a number of ways to achieve this. The most basic way would be by setting up an analytics consent banner for your site.
You can also utilize a script that displays a banner notifying your visitors of the use of cookies when they come to your website.
Here is an easy to use cookie warning pop-up from the ICO. This one lets them know the site may use Cookies and asks them to opt-in. It only shows the first time someone comes onto your website. You can see it in action in our Pershing Forest Theme Demo.
Before making any changes to your nation, you will first need to create a custom theme if you don't already have one. The code to install in your header will look like this:
<script src='http://ico-cookie-warning.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ico_cookies.js'></ script>
To install it, go to Websites > Theme > layout.html and paste that code before the closing </head> tag. View their directions here.
Also, it is possible to create a more customized version of this with some knowledge of javascript/html. If you think you would be interested in that, here you can find a list of Certified NationBuilder Architects who would be happy to help.
If you need more in-depth consent functionality, you may also want to look into using CookieBot.
Thanks.
