Cookie Warning

To comply with the May 2011 EU cookie law whose enforcement will start in May 2012 for UK website owners, this plugin welcomes your first time visitors with a custom message asking for their consent using cookies on your website and redirects them out of your site if they disagree. It is a solution that strictly complies with the law.

You can customize the message displayed as well as the text of the ‘I agree’ button and of the ‘I disagree’ link.

This plugin was written with the EU cookie law in mind but can be used for any terms and conditions you need your visitors to approve before viewing your site.
