Caching of cookie law consent message

    I have installed ZenCache in my development environment. I am currently running WordPress version 4.2.4. with multisite activated. Setup with subdirectories.

    When landing on the homepage (of a subsite) for the first time, a cookie consent message will pop-up. For this I use the “EU Cookie law” plugin version 2.4.2.

    My problem is that it looks like this message is cached with the page so even when confirming the message it will keep popping up every time you load the page.

    Now a solution might be to disable caching till a user has confirmed the message, but then caching does not make sense anymore as I want my site to be at its highests speed when a visitor first enters.

    I am sure there must be more people having this problem. Any suggestions for a work-around?

    @bforsoft It sounds like the EU Cookie Law plugin does not support WordPress caching plugins. You can add custom support for ZenCache by integrating with the ZenCache Dynamic Version Salt feature, which would allow you to tell ZenCache to maintain a separate cache for the pages that have the consent message, and then another version of the cache for after the user clears the message (i.e., a cache of the pages without the consent message).

    Thanks for the tip @raamdev. It might be a solution. The consent message however has to be fired on every (landing) page where the user can enter for the first time. It would mean a double cache set. (nice functionality by the way).

    I am thinking of creating a consent message that is fired before anything is loaded (even before wordpress), that way eliminating any compatibility problem and also making sure that absolutely no cookie is placed at the user side. I only have to figure out how to track that.
