A simple, lightweight WordPress plugin for displaying a discreet notification bar that is dismissable and the dismissal is saved by cookie. Perfect for implementing the EU cookie law (GDPR)!<\/p>\n\n

The Cookie Bar plugin creates a small bar at the bottom of the website with a short customizable message about cookies and an accept button.<\/strong> Once a visitor has accepted the Cookie Bar, it then disappears.<\/p>\n\n

Feel free to try out the plugin through our installation of Cookie Bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Troubleshooting: If you or your visitors are using an adblocker that can block cookie bars, the bar may not show up. Whitelist your website in your adblocker's browser add-on\/extension.<\/p>\n\n\n

Add the plugin by uploading the zip file to your WordPress admin area > Plugins > Add New or by installing it from the WordPress Plugin directory.\nActivate the plugin and go to Settings > Cookie Bar.\nConfigure it as you would like.\nSave.\nThat's all!<\/p>\n\n\n
