    Cookies

      Hi all,

       

      I would be extremely greatful for some advice on cookies for my company website www.vbd.co.uk.

       

      With all of the concern about the cookie rules coming into play, im getting a bit nervous. My site is just a static site(NO log in, ecommerce etc) with nothing out of the ordinary, apart from that is DOES have Google Analytics enabled. Should I be Nervous? Am i right in saying that as of from May, I have to get permission from the user to enable cookies for my site so that Google Analytics can work.

       

      What I am really struggling with tho is what happens if they say "No", how do I go about configuring my site so when the user clicks NO, it will disable the cookies for my site on their computer. Is there a line of Javasript that I need to add on the button,  to deactivate the "users" cookies.

       

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

       

      Thank you

          There is no way to control client settings (thankfully). Best method would be to simply redirect users to a non-cookie version of your site when they click "No".

           

          best,

            Ok thanks for that, I thought to start with you meant create a duplicate site and remove my google analytics from the pages, but having thinking dont think thats what you meant as that is unmanagable. How would you go about making a non-cookie version? So removing all cookies from the site?

             

            Thank you again for your help so far
