On May 26th 2012 a new EU directive came into force requiring website owners to provide clear and comprehensive information to site visitors about cookies used and how they may refuse them.
Site owners will therefore now be obliged to:
- tell people that the cookies are there.
- explain what the cookies are doing.
- obtain vistors’ consent to store a cookie on their device.
Cookie Guard lets you list all the known cookies used on your site and offers site visitors the opportunity to block or allow non-essential and unknown cookies.
This module is based on a fork of the jQuery plugin Cookie Guard, which has been tweaked to use the jQuery Cookie plugin used by Drupal.
