Due to these EU cookies laws, all the website must display a cookie warning for reader to continue or leave.  After so much time to search for the best solution since we display Ad-sense and Amazon ads, we need to comply and finally we found a that shows us how to do it. It’s quite simple.

While we’re searching, we found a way to display the text box with a close button to turn it off.

cookie warning float right text box with close button

We need the scripts

$jC(document).ready(function(c) {
$jC('.alert-close').on('click', function(c){
$jC(this).parent().fadeOut('slow', function(c){
});
});
});

no-conflict and set in the footer.php

<script type="text/javascript">
var $jC=jQuery.noConflict();
$jC(document).ready(function(){
});
</script>
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/ijs/cookie.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

The textbox with close button

<div id="cookie"> <p style="text-align=center";><em> Dognmonkey uses <a href="//www.dognmonkey.com/techs/privacy-policy" target="_blank">cookies</a> to give you the best experience. Please continue if you're OK with this.<div class="alert-close">×</div></em></p></div>
