Ben224 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Hi, I have V5.1.1 installed and am finalising before going live. I need some help with the cookie compliance function. Essentially I want to alert my customers that the site uses cookies as this is now a standard compliance. I have checked the option for Enable EU Cookie Compliance in my admin panel but when I browse my site I am not seeing any kind of notification or option to accept or decline cookies. I thought I had enabled this by checking the feature Enable EU Cookie Compliance . Can anyone throw some light on this subject? Much appreciated in advance. Quote
Dirty Butter Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 If your default country is not in the EU you won't see it. And there's no way to decline, other than to ignore the notice. There's another thread on the forum about adding your country to the array so you can see how it works. Quote
Ben224 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Hi again, I am UK based so should be ok? I have picked up a syntax error in main.php line 96 (currently looking at the default vanilla skin). The html is missing a closing > for the p tag. Thanks Quote
Dirty Butter Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Have you done a cookie audit? If you have Analytics, Olark, or AddThis enabled you should be seeing the message - otherwise maybe not. Search on this forum and the 3rd party forum and you'll find quite a bit said about cookie compliance. Hmm... I checked the Vanilla skin, and I have the closing p tag correctly done on line 96. Quote
Ben224 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks again. Sorry I am not great with cookies. How do I do an audit? I havent set up a google analytics account for my site yet as im not quite there yet. Are you saying that once I enable analytics under admin panel features the cookie compliance thing should kick in? Apologies I meant closing bracket on the opening p tag on line 96. Many thanks Quote
Dirty Butter Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 You'll find the discussion of cookie audits in the forums, too. I reported the missing bracket in a bug report. Thanks. Quote
