Cookies Policy Notification Bar | A GDPR Ready Joomla! plugin

Ensure full GDPR compliance by recording each visitor’s consent in your database – storing only the IP address and timestamp, which are not considered personal data.

In certain EU countries (like Italy), IP storage may be restricted. That’s why our plugin gives you the option to disable IP logging, keeping your website both flexible and lawful.

Protect privacy while staying transparent and in control.

Customize your cookie strategy with ease.
Create as many categories as needed and define their purpose clearly.

Four ready-made types are included by default – but you’re free to rename, remove or replace them based on your policy.

Take full control over how users manage their cookie preferences.Enable or disable the modal window, customize the icon’s position and type, and choose whether it appears for logged-in users – all directly from the plugin settings.

You can also decide on which pages the modal should appear, using menu items or URLs for precision targeting.

🔗 Plus, you can trigger the modal via a custom link, button, or image, offering seamless integration with your site’s design and user flow.

Running a multilingual Joomla! website? We’ve got you covered.

The Cookies Policy Notification Bar offers full multilingual capabilities, enabling you to customize every piece of text for each active language on your site — no extra tools required.

From the main cookie message to button labels, confirmation alerts, and custom links, everything is fully translatable and can be managed easily through the plugin interface.

This way, your cookie consent message will speak your visitors’ language, enhancing clarity, trust, and user experience.

Easily configure:

• Notification messages
• “OK”, “Decline”, “Ask me later”, “Settings”, and “More Info” button texts
• Links to additional cookie information

Perfect for global websites that aim for GDPR compliance without compromising on localization.

Take full control of where the cookie bar appears.

Display or hide the notification on specific pages by menu item or custom URL – perfect for:

• Showing it only on landing pages
• Excluding it from contact or checkout pages
• Improving performance and design consistency

You can even disable the plugin’s core functionality on selected pages to fine-tune the user experience and maintain full compliance.

Customize every part of the notification message to reflect your site’s tone and language.

This feature allows you to personalize all button labels, text content, and links that appear on the cookie bar.

• Supports HTML for rich content styling.
• Show or hide buttons like Accept, Decline, Cancel, Settings, and More Info.
• Add custom links to your cookie policy or privacy terms.
• Choose if the “More Info” link opens in the same or a new tab.

A complete text configuration system, designed to give you maximum flexibility and ensure your message is clear, compliant, and user-friendly.

Let users decide how they want to access additional cookie information. The plugin offers three distinct options:

• A custom link of your choice,
• A direct link to a menu item,
• A modal popup with your own custom text and design.

Make your cookie bar appear with a smooth transition. The animation duration (in milliseconds) controls how fast or slow the notification bar enters or exits the screen. Whether you want a subtle fade-in or a quick pop-up effect, this setting gives you full control over the animation’s tempo.

For example, setting 1000 means the animation lasts for 1 second. Lower values create snappier animations, while higher values make them more elegant and gradual.

Customize the look and feel of the Cookies Policy Notification Bar to match your website’s design and branding seamlessly.

You can:

• Enable or disable center alignment for a more structured appearance.
• Select custom background and border colors using HEX codes (e.g., #323a45, #202226) or standard color names like green, red, blue.
• Define the border width and height of the notification bar to fit your design layout.
• Add custom CSS rules directly, offering total flexibility for fine-tuning font styles, spacing, color contrast, and responsiveness.

These styling capabilities allow you to deliver a professional and on-brand cookie consent experience to your visitors.

Take full control over the visual style of the Cookies Policy Notification Bar by adding your own CSS rules.

Use the Custom CSS field to:

• Apply advanced styles to headings, texts, or buttons
• Match your site’s branding precisely
• Override default plugin styles when needed

Whether you want to tweak font sizes, colors, margins or visibility – this section gives you the flexibility you need to go beyond the standard settings.

Perfect for developers or advanced users who want pixel-perfect customization.

Improve the visibility and effectiveness of your cookie policy notification by covering the main content of the page until the user makes a choice. This feature includes two distinct settings:

• Body Cover: Enables the notification bar to overlay the body of the page, drawing the visitor’s attention before they access the site’s content.
• Locked Overlay: Prevents any interaction with the website (scrolling, clicking, etc.) until the user Accepts or Declines the cookies policy.

You can also define the Overlay Color using RGBA values for transparency control (e.g. rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.3)).

This is especially useful for websites that need strict user consent before loading tracking scripts or third-party integrations.

Keep the cookie bar always visible during setup-regardless of user choice.
