<p>This plugin sets user cookie when user is logged in.<br />
You can use cookie as data store,<br />
so you can use it as UI resource.</p>
<h4>Visibility</h4>
<p>This plugin adds class to <code>html</code> element.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ct-logged-in</code> The current user is logged in.</li>
<li><code>ct-not-logged-in</code> The current user is anonymous.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can control elements visibility with CSS.</p>
<pre>.some-element{
  display: none;
}
.ct-logged-in .some-element{
  display: block;
}</pre>
<h4>From JavaScript</h4>
<p>You can use Global Object <code>CookieTasting</code> for utility.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>CookieTasting.userName()</code> Returns user name. If not logged in, returns ‘Guest’.</li>
<li><code>CookieTasting.lastUpdated()</code> Returns timestamp of last log in check. If this equals 0, it means that user is anonymous.</li>
</ul>
<p>Besides that, this plugin checks periodically log-in status.<br />
You can handle it with jQuery.</p>
<pre>jQuery( document ).on( 'cookie.tasting', function( event, response ) {
  if ( response.login ) {
    // User is logged in.
    // If you use React...
    setAttributes({ name: CookieTasting.userName() })
  } else {
    // User is not logged in.
  }
} );</pre>
<p>If you use react or something, updated the status with <code>setState()</code>.</p>
<h4>Check Before Action</h4>
<p>If you manage cached WordPress and customizing your own theme,<br />
It’s a good idea to implement dynamic UI components with JavaScript.</p>
<p>You can check user’s credential just before important actions.</p>
<pre>// Click action for button.
$('.read-more').click( function( e ) {
  e.preventDefault();
  // Check cookie before do something.
  CookieTasting.testBefore().then( function( response ) {
    // Now user has fresh information.
    // Load premium contents.
    loadPremiumContents();
  }).catch( function( response ) {
    // This user is not logged in.
    // Redirect them to login page.
    window.locaion.href = '/wp-login.php';
  } );
} );</pre>
<p>Plese remember adding dependency for <code>cookie-tasting-heartbeat</code> to your script.</p>
<h4>Handle UUID</h4>
<p>By default, this plugin set UUID for each user. This will be…</p>
<ul>
<li>Unique for each logged in user and will be saved as user_meta.</li>
<li>Also kept for anonymous user.</li>
</ul>
<p>So you can use it for Google Analytic’s <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3123662" rel="nofollow ugc">User ID View</a>.</p>
<pre>const uuid = CookieTasting.get( 'uuid' );
// For Google Analytics.
ga( 'set', "userId", uid );</pre>


Cookie Tasting

nice idea !!!

Detect user login only with cookie. The best helper for cached WordPress sites.

Just installed the free version to take a look. Blindingly fast, zero speed impact. Amazing plugin. Will try pro if I ever develop another website.


Zero effect on page speed


This is an extremely well thought out and designed plugin for important functionality most of us probably don't want to have to deal with. Easy to set up and flexible to make the cookie notice match your site design. I especially like how the plugin can analyze your site and determine which cookies are present.



I'm sure going forward this plugin is going to be on every site I build!


Excellent plugin
