Cookies, Cookie Consent, introducing our WordPress plugin.

Let’s talk about cookies…

Well then, there is chocolate chip, double chocolate chip… or wait, wrong topic.

Back on track – cookies are used on most websites, usually in the form of Google Analytics. Cookies are used to store information, such as what time your current visit occurred, whether you have been to the site before, and what site referred you to the web page. These cookies contain no personally identifiable information but they will use your computer’s IP address to know from where in the world you are accessing the Internet.

Given the introduction of GDPR, it is now more important than ever to let your website visitors know if cookies are in use. If this is the case, you will need to ask users to accept the use of cookies and direct them to the privacy policy for more information.

Introducing our new WordPress plugin – Cookie Consent Box

Cookie Consent Box is a lightweight and good looking way to inform users your site uses cookies and to comply with EU cookie law regulations. Best of all, it is completely free to use as we have released a WordPress plugin that can easily be installed and setup in a matter of minutes.

We have already taken care of any possible performance issues, which is why the JS file is loaded asynchronously. Have we lost you there? No worries, just know that after your whole page has loaded, the cookie notice appears, so it does not slow your site down in any way.

Key features:

• Lightweight, responsive
• Redirects users to specified page for more cookie information
• Option to choose background colour and text colour
• Option to specify container width
• SEO friendly
