    Hi,
    I′m trying to set up my website and the plugin works fine and I really like it, however, I do have a cookie banner (footer) on the site, which is required in the EU, and the problem is, that it does show on the entire site, except the one created by the Bio Links Plugin itself. I don′t really know how to solve this. Would be great, if you could help me.

    Hey!

    The cookie law says:

    The great thing about Bio Links plugin is that it completely skips regular WordPress hooks, meaning that – the regular scripts you have on your site (for example Google Analytics) aren’t active, so they aren’t adding any additional cookies.

    I built the Bio Links plugin with the intention to make it as fast as possible, without loading the typical WordPress hooks that many plugins use to attach themselves to and bloat the HTML that’s output. Bio Links code is plain, no tracking, no cookies, just links and few minimal styles.

    I’m not a lawyer, but I think you don’t have to worry about displaying the cookie banner on Bio Links page ??

    If you still want to – you can probably find a hook somewhere in the Bio Links plugin codebase that you can use to display a custom cookies alert, but I’ll leave that to you for now.

    Thanks a lot ?? Now that I checked again I can see that there are no cookies stored there.

    Have a nice day and thanks for answering!
