EU Cookies

[Old Fossil]

For those of us within the confines of the EU there is now a law where EU Cookies must be shown when a person goes onto a website.

Might be an idea for AbanteCart asa a standard feature.

I believe your statement is too broad in its scope.  There are various types of cookies and this determines the level of awareness mandated. 

Some cookies can be exempted from informed consent under certain conditions if they are not used for additional purposes. These cookies include cookies used to keep track of a user’s input when filling online forms or as a shopping cart, also known as session-id cookies, multimedia player session cookies and user interface customisation cookies, eg language preference cookies to remember the language selected by the user.

Here is a link that explains it well and from where I obtained the above information.

Admins will need to determine if the Abantecart coding falls within these conditions.  If so,  then a good privacy policy statement will be adequate.

Being serious about cookies has become a joke. Even government websites have their cooky policy totally wrong. Big companies do what they want anyway, just look at Apple, Facebook, etc. etc.
All you have to do is to inform your visitors what you are doing with your cookies.
Don´t be like the Big Data out there and be respectful to your visitors. Put your cookie
popup in a place where it does not interfere in anyway with your visitors, because they
hate it and click it away asap.
