FrankenCookie

Nejčastější dotazy

I have a question, where do I ask?

You can leave a comment at the FrankenCookie plugin page.

Does it work with caching plugins?

Yes. FrankenCookie renders the content of the widget and hides it with Javascript that checks if the frankencookie cookie (yummy) is present.
If it is found, it hides the widget’s content.
As what is rendered does not change, it doesn’t matter whether a caching mechanism is used or not.
What changes is the behaviour based on the cookie. Of course this will only work if the visitor has Javascript enabled.
Those that don’t will always see the message.

How does this impact my site’s performance?

Tests with P3 show that the plugin’s execution time is about 1-2% of WordPress‘ core.
Well, still a small price to pay compared to the abysmal nonsense of some regulations.

How can I style the widget?

The widget can be styled quite easily using CSS rules.

• the widget’s CSS class is frankencookie
• the message is wrapped in a div with class frankencookie-message
• the link to hide the message is also in a div with class frankencookie-hide

Example – show the message at a fixed position at the bottom of the page:

.frankencookie {
    font-size: 11px;
    margin-top: 2px;
    text-align: center;
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 0;
    color: #f0f0f0;
    background-color: #000;
    z-index: 10000;
}
.frankencookie .frankencookie-message,
.frankencookie .hide {
    display: inline;
    margin: 2px;
}
.frankencookie .frankencookie-hide a {
    color: #fff;
    padding: 2px;
    font-weight: bold;
}
.frankencookie .frankencookie-hide a:hover {
    background-color: #999;
    color: #111;
}
