Hi, does the Cookie Bar plugin meet Google’s new requirements regarding Google consent mode v2?

Hey, thanks for your little plugin!

Could I do a feature request here? I really would like be able to choose my own name for the cookie, so have an option field in admin to change the value of “euCookiesAcc”? Small action, I would think? ??

Also, may be you could bump your version to a next version after having tested in the newest WP? I see no issues, btw.

Another thing is, my anti-malware software triggered when trying to visit your website, and blocked it with error code: “ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR”

Thanks!

Hi – I like your solution, but it seems to not work when cookies are blocked by the user – which then prevents them from giving or declining consent. I used your demo site.

I understand that it may sound strange that I bring that up b/c you might think that people using Ghostery already have declined using cookies. But my understanding of the law is that I still am required to give visitors the opportunity to accept or decline.

Hi! Your plugin looks really nice and I’m considering installing it. Before I do so, could you tell me what the minimum PHP version required is? My site runs on PHP 5.3.29…
I was also wondering whether the plugin works on multilingual sites? Do you know whether Cookie Bar is compatible with the MultilingualPress plugin?
Thanks for your help ??

Hi, Cookies Bar shows up on each page after closing.

Have the same PHP error on several website since the update.

[12-Oct-2022 08:20:18 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: allowed_html in /homepages/25/d577755233/htdocs/wordpress-cms/staging5/wp-content/plugins/cookie-bar/cookie-bar.php on line 109

Thanks

Hi, I get this in debug.log

[04-Oct-2022 14:56:00 UTC] PHP Warning: Undefined variable $allowed_html in /home/yodel/www/wp-content/plugins/cookie-bar/cookie-bar.php on line 109

Can you help me eliminate it?

Can you confirm that the “settings” screen has been tested against Authenticated Cross Site scripting by anyone with access permissions.

Also, can you please add an “bump” to the changelog to confirm that it is compatible with the latest version of wordpress 5.7.2.

Love your plugin. The javascript file this plugin launches on every page is the element which takes the longest to load for each of my pages. Is it possible to crunch it down into a smaller file and remove all unnecessary functions, please?

I would like to show the cookie bar to logged OUT users only. We have a membership site and our members must agree to terms & conditions, which include use of cookies, so we’re already covered for them.

Looks like after clicking “I accept” button, the bar will not show again for about 41 days, or until someone clears their cookies, whichever is shorter.

I would prefer to set the cookie expiration to longer. Obviously, we can’t do anything about users clearing their cookies in the interim.

Dear Nimonogi,

We really like your plugin:
– it is simple & discreet,
– lightweight/fast loading, and
– it works reliably!

Hence, we are wondering whether you can incorporate the following feature suggestions in a future upgrade:

1. Changing the colour/font of the ‘ok’ text.

At the moment, the plugin allows to change the background colour but not the font colour.

Currently, we use the following CSS code on our website to change the font of the ‘accept’ text:

/* Cookie Bar - Visual Adjustments */
button#euCookieAcceptWP {
    color: #000000 !important;
    font-weight: inherit !important;
}

2. Auto close the bar either on scroll or after a certain time.

Currently, every visitor has to click ‘ok’ or ‘accept’ for the cookie bar to close.

It would be great, if the bar could auto-close once the visitor has scrolled or spent a certain amount of time on the site.

Just some suggestions from that should in no way take away from the quality of your plugin.

With kind regards,

Pairfum London

Hi,

Thanks for creating this plugin. It would be great if you would wrap the Cookie Bar Message in a span tag with a class, so that it provides a little more flexibility with styling. EG. With a couple of styles we could float the button so it sits on the right all the time, rather than having it inline with the text.

Thanks ??

Hi I have had several occasions where I have launched a site and forgotten to update the hardcoded, and now usually hidden, link to the privacy policy in the cookie bar. (Mea culpa, but i’m sure i’m not alone!)

One relatively quick and simple solution would be to enable optional automatic linking to the WordPress Privacy Policy URL as set on the Privacy Settings page. i.e. using get_privacy_policy_url(), checking of course if it is empty first.

We could then link to this in the ‘Cookie Bar Message’ field using %p or %privacy or similar.

What do you think?

Hi I am recieveing this error on several sites with WP 5.3. ON each when I disable this Cookie Bar plugin the error disappears.

The error is
Notice: add_submenu_page was called incorrectly. The seventh parameter passed to add_submenu_page() should be an integer representing menu position. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 5.3.0.) in /home/alixlaw1/public_html/wordpress-cms/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4903

Cookiebar can show a privacy page link and an URL to privacy page can be provided.
In recent WordPress the privacy page is now a page (post) state,
the privacy page can be globally set up in WordPress settings.
Also Cookiebar should show the right link, depending on translation, when a translation plugin like Polylang is used and the privacy page is available in multiple languages.

• This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by strarsis.

Cookiebar doesn’t detect the language set by Polylang,
when the user switches from German (primary site language) to another language (e.g. English), the Cookiebar is still in German and not in the selected language.
get_locale() should return the locale for the page, also supporting Polylang.

Hi
are you going to update this plugin to work with WP 5.1.?

if you have abandoned it – please let us know so that we can replace it with something else.

thanks

line 68

wp_register_script( 'cookie-bar-js', plugins_url('js/cookie-bar.js', __FILE__), array('jquery'), time(), false );

time() it is no good

wp_register_script( 'cookie-bar-js', plugins_url('js/cookie-bar.js', __FILE__), array('jquery'), '1.8.5', false );

it is good

Excusme for my English

Hello! Will soon be able to translate your plugin?

… I can’t make it show on my website.
Very odd, it’s active, all claims its ready to go, opened the webpage from a browser with all cookies previously deleted and can’t see it. An issue with another plugin maybe – I’ve disabled some obvious ones. Any help would be gratefully received please?

We’re creating a list for users to see what all cookies the site uses, and I can’t seem to find anything indicating if this plugin uses any cookies itself. Could you let me know whether or not it does, and if so list the name, purpose and duration for any cookies it uses? Thanks.

Hello,

Is there any code to show the bar one time in website? Click or not, after the bar is showing in one page, it will be hidden for the next pages.

Hi! Great looking plugin! Is there any way I can make it load at the very top of screen, not bottom? Thank you!

The <div id="eu-cookie-bar"></div> has styles for width applied that make part of the text go out of the screen on certain (small) screen resolutions.
In /wp-content/plugins/cookie-bar/css/cookie-bar.css there is a width set for the div stated above as well as padding, which in total exceed 100% screen resolution.

Instead of

width: 100%;
padding: 3px 20px 2px;

I would suggest

width: 96%;
padding: 3px 2% 2px;

which will allow multiple lines of Cookie Bar without problems to read.
Would be great to see an update to not need to insert Custom CSS on many pages!

Thanks,
Jan

Hey. but how to fix it from above?

To make the 2 plugin fields setting translatable in WPML, you can just add in your plugin an xml file named wpml-config.xml with this content inside:

<wpml-config>
  <admin-texts>
    <key name="cookie_bar_message"/>
    <key name="cookie_bar_button"/>
  </admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

This will allow WPML string translation to scan those fields for translation…

This is tested and works with WPML String translation, enabling scanning option to get them…

Hi ??
