What It Does

This plugin is designed to help website owners comply with the EU cookie law, which requires user consent for cookie usage. When first-time visitors arrive at your site, they will see a custom message asking for their consent to use cookies. If they do not agree, the plugin will redirect them away from your site.

You have the ability to customize the message that is displayed, as well as the text for the 'I agree' button and the 'I disagree' link. This flexibility allows you to align the plugin with your site's branding and messaging.

While this plugin was created with the EU cookie law in mind, it can also be utilized for any terms and conditions that you need your visitors to accept before they can view your site.

FAQ

The point is to display the message on the user’s first visit only, which makes it tricky to preview the changes you make to the cookie warning message…
Two ways around that:

View your site in a web browser with which you haven’t viewed the site yet.
Clear your browser of cookies – I know… Any website feature that requires the discrimination between first time and returning visitor needs to rely on… cookies! Hopefully
the EU law makes that use of cookies legal. It’s just one of its many inconsistencies!!
