With GDPR and data privacy being a key concern across the world, your site also needs to comply with the data privacy laws that are applicable across nations. As such, you can enable a cookie policy on your site and a GDPR policy pop up as well.
Here's a quick video on how to do this
To do this, login to your Knorish account and in the Dashboard, under Website Builder, access the Custom Footer Code section as shown below:
Here, under the Embed code to the <body> on every pages section, simply add the cookie policy and GDPR code. In case you are not familiar with JavaScript coding, you can simply copy and paste the codes of any of the designs shown below in line 2.
Here's how:
Step 1: Custom JavaScript Code
Access the dashboard and click on the Custom Footer Code button
Under the section - Embed code to the <body> on every pages, you need to simply copy and paste the base code first which is listed below in line 2:
NOTE: The code must be included inside SINGLE INVERTED COMA -- '.........' or inside GRAVE ACCENT SYMBOL ........
BASE CODE
$(document).ready(function() {
if(getParameterByName('edit') !== 'true') {
if(getCookie('AcceptCookie') !== '1'){
var html = 'YOUR_HTML_CODE_HERE';
$('body').append(html);
}
$('.accept-cookie').click(function(){
setCookie('AcceptCookie', 1, 365);
$('.accept-cookie-sec').hide();
});
function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays) {
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
var expires = 'expires=' + d.toUTCString();
document.cookie = cname + '=' + cvalue + ';' + expires + ';path=/';
}
function getCookie(cname) {
var name = cname + '=';
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
c = c.substring(1);
}
if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
}
}
return '';
}
}
});
Step 2: Choose the Design of the Cookie Policy Sticky
There are 5 designs that have been created for you to use. You may go ahead and choose one for your site. Simply copy the code of the design you like.
Note: YOUR_HTML_CODE_HERE (refer to the blue box in the image)
You need to replace the text above with the code mentioned below as per the design of your choice.
