If your website operates in the EU, you need to put a notice on your site informing people about the use of cookies. To comply with this regulation you can use this script which I found at http://www.daretothink.co.uk/blog/eu-cookie-law-script/ to stay legal.
Edit templates/base/_header.html
Find </head>
Before add this code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#eucookielaw { display:none }
-->
</style>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<?php
if(!isset($_COOKIE['eucookie']))
{ ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SetCookie(c_name,value,expiredays)
{
var exdate=new Date()
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays)
document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+";path=/"+((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString())
}
</script>
<?php } ?>
NOW FIND <body <bx_injection:injection_body /> class="bx-def-font">
After this code enter:
<?php
if(!isset($_COOKIE['eucookie']))
{?>
<div id="eucookielaw">
<font size="3" ><p align="justify">We usecookies.By browsing our site you agree toour useof cookies.</p>
<center><aid="removecookie">Accept thesecookies</a>
<a href="/privacy.php"><b>Find out more</b></a></font></center>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(document.cookie.indexOf("eucookie")===-1){
$("#eucookielaw").show();
}
$("#removecookie").click(function(){
SetCookie('eucookie','eucookie',365*10)
$("#eucookielaw").remove();
});
</script>
<?php}?>
Where you see We usecookies.By browsing our site you agree toour useof cookies. you can enter your own message.
NOW CLEAR THE CACHE
Once the user clicks 'Accept these cookies', this will create a cookie called eucookie and the message will disappear.
if you prefer the user to open a new window when reading the privacy information change <a href="/privacy.php"> to <a href="/privacy.php" target="_blank">
THAT'S IT!!!
