Joomla 3.x. How to manage Joomla Cookie Directive Plugin

Our Support team is ready to present you a new tutorial that shows how to manage Joomla Cookie Directive plugin.

Joomla Cookie Directive is a plugin for displaying a banner with a message about using cookies:

Here you can see the main Joomla Cookie Directive plugin settings. Feel free to check more details at the official plugin’s website:

Width px (0 = full width): The width of the message on the screen, 0 for 100%.

Warning Message: The message to display to users.

Details URL: A link to the details page on this site for more information.

What the plugin does:

• Informs the users the the site uses cookies.

• Remembers their answer.

• Links to your privacy policy page, to which you should add what cookies are used and why.

• It is also a good idea to display other information links, including those showing how to prevent a browser from accepting cookies. This is the approach that we suggest for anyone who does not want cookies.

What the plugin DOES NOT do!

• It does not change the functioning of your web site in any way.

• It does not prevent the web site from setting cookies before the user consents.

• It does not prevent Google Analytics from gathering data.

• So you should let users know that cookies will be set by your site, and they continue to use it on that understanding.
