Hello guys,
Hope you all are very well.
From the version v3.5.0 (July 2018) up to the current version v3.7.5 (January 2019), 14 updates have been released. We are happy to show you the most popular features that our subscribers love.
The notification bar will disappear after X seconds. If you choose the ‘Always Display’ option, the notification bar will be displayed until the visitor clicks on an action button (Accept, Decline or Cancel).
It will be loaded only after a user action (after clicks on the action button, accept/decline/cancel). After this improvement, your website will be marked as compliant with the Cookiebot service.
After Y pixels (e.g. 300) of the scrolling from the top of the window, the plugin automatically accepts the cookies policy without any click needed. The notification bar is hidden automatically after reach the maximum height of scrolled pixels.
There a new parameter in Base Settings (tab): “Reload the page after accept”. Choose if you want to reload the page after the User clicks on the accept button. This parameter is useful if you would like to load the blocked javascript code (e.g. Google Analytics) after the user accepts the cookies policy. This feature affects only the ‘Accept’ button, at the notification bar. It does not affect any other buttons in the notification bar (e.g. Declined or Cancel button), or other areas like the cookies info table (shortcode), or the cookies settings modal window.
This cookie is stored to check which categories of cookies are accepted or declined (e.g. Analytical Cookies, Targeted Advertising Cookies, etc.). Of course, you can change the description of this text in the plugin settings under the parameter (Cookies Settings description) in the “Texts for Languages” tab.
Some services like the ‘Google Tag Manager’, ‘Google Analytics’, the ‘Google Adsense’, the ‘Olark live chat’, the ‘Zopim live chat’, and many other javascript applications, use cookies in their javascript code. This plugin has the great opportunity to block the cookies of these scripts by using the <cpnb> tags. Read the full tutorial about how to block cookies by using the <cpnb> tags.
The notification bar will be displayed only in selected Continents/Countries. Supported by the GeoIP2 Webservice.
Most of Web357 extensions are fully compatible with the Alpha version of Joomla! 4 which is coming soon.
A new parameter has been added to show or hide the “Ok, I’ve understood” button from the cookies notification bar.
If you would like to open the Cookies Manager (modal window) by another area now you can do it by clicking on a custom link, on a button or an image, using the ID attribute “cookies”, or your custom hash link text from the plugin parameters.
