TOS checkbox on Login page or widget

Since our website does not set cookies…

If your site uses WP, it sets cookies. That’s how WP maintains login state, among other things. I think what you’re saying here is that there are no cookies set for a non-logged in user?

Is there any way to generate a TOS checkbox on the login page/widget?

Theoretically, yes. But as a practical matter in implementation, not really.

Login is not the time to be validating based on TOS (although you could potentially do it). That should be done during registration.

I have written a series of custom code snippets for forcing an existing user to update their registration data (such as to force an update to a specific field – like a change in ToS and such). It is part of the premium support site here.

The premise for adding it to the login form could be done – depending on your level of familiarity with WP and how filter and action hooks work. You’d use the wpmem_login_form_defaults filter to add a field (for your checkbox for the terms). Then you could use WP’s authenticate filter to add the necessary validation/authentication to check it when the form is submitted.

If your site uses WP, it sets cookies. That’s how WP maintains login state, among other things. I think what you’re saying here is that there are no cookies set for a non-logged in user?

Yes, this is how it is regulated on our site. For non-logged in users only a session cookie is set, for which no consent is required.

Thanks for the detailed answer however I don’t have such deep system knowledge that I can implement this with the code snippets. We will look for another solution for the members of the club.
