Brontobytes

A simple, lightweight WordPress plugin for displaying a discreet notification bar that is dismissable and the dismissal is saved by cookie. Perfect for implementing the EU cookie law (GDPR)!
The Cookie Bar plugin creates a small bar at the bottom of the website with a short customizable message about cookies and an accept button. Once a visitor has accepted the Cookie Bar, it then disappears.
Feel free to try out the plugin through our installation of <a href="https://www.brontobytes.com/blog/cookie-bar-free-wordpress-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">Cookie Bar</a>.
Troubleshooting: If you or your visitors are using an adblocker that can block cookie bars, the bar may not show up. Whitelist your website in your adblocker’s browser add-on/extension.

Cookie Bar

This is what a Plugin should do - simply fulfill its purpose and not adding senseless overhead and bullshit. The plugin adds a cookie bar which is HTML customizable so you can use it exactly the way you want. Nothing else.

Simple, Flexible, Customizable - Perfect

What can I say, whats perfectly ... thanks for the great plugin.

Awesome.
