Cookie Management

    I use GiveWP and the Advanced Ads Plugin,
    I want to disable ads for donors.
    I do NOT registered users for donors !
    So I guess I have to use the cookie set by GiveWP
    Advanced Ads can display ads based on a cookie condition.
    What is the format and content of the GiveWP cookie?
    Does it contain the donated amount? which would be very nice for ad display condition.
    But GiveWP only provides setting 48 hours max for the cookie expiration, I would need one year!
    Also the cookie is only set on the device where the donation was made.
    I would like to provide a possibiity for donors to set the cookie on another device without a new donation.
    Can this be done by accessing the donor dashboard on the second device ? This would also be very convenient if the user loses the cookie of some reason.
    Any other suggestions how to implement this?

    Hi, @flamand.

    ?Glad you reached out. I can clarify here.

    Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. They help that website remember information about your visit, which can both make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you.

    For this reason, the best option would be to allow users to create their account. For it, you could use the register shortcode to register users, and the login shortcode to let users log in. You can read about them here:

    Then, when they access your website, you check if they are logged in or not, and display/hide the ads.

    From my point of view, this would be the best approach.

    Thanks for using GiveWP! Have a great day.

    Thanks you for your advice which I followed.
    Using the GiveWP free version I implemented a page with the give_login and give_register shortcodes. Works fine except that the both forms always contain the admin login (user and password) with which I created the forms. This is true on any computer with no login active.
    How can I get rid of this preset – I want blank forms.

    Greetings

    Hi, @flamand.

    Can you send me the URL for the registration and login forms? I’d like to take a closer look at them.

    Looking forward to helping you get to the bottom of this!

    Hi Matheus,
    Thanks for replying.
    In the meantime I have found another solution to implement my donations.
