<p>This plugin adds a stylesheet or image to your blog’s html source code. When a browser loads that stylesheet or image a cookie is dropped. If that user then leaves a comment the cookie is checked. If it doesn’t exist the comment is marked as spam.<br />
The plugin can also check how long it took a user to enter a comment. If it’s too fast it’s probably a spam bot. How fast can a legitimate user enter their name, email, web address and enter a well thought out comment?</p>
<p>For the adventurous, add these lines to your .htaccess and it will block spam attempts before they ever get to WordPress. Replace the Xs with the cookie that was set in your browser after viewing your blog. You can also find the cookie value by examining the page source code and looking for “css.php?k=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”. Make sure the lines go above the standard WordPress rules.</p>
<pre><code>    RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.*$
    RewriteRule ^wp-comments-post.php - [F,L]
</code></pre>
<p>If you use WordPress MU, replace wp-comments-post.php above with wp-signup.php to block spam signups.</p>
<pre><code>    RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.*$
    RewriteRule ^wp-signup.php - [F,L]
</code></pre>


Cookies for Comments

If you don't use any other spam filter plugins, then you can rely on this to stop spam comments for sure!

Must have, if you don't use any other spam filters!

I'd been getting a dozen spams a day on two of my sites. We installed "Stop Spam Comments" on one and "Cookies for Comments" on the other. Both worked perfectly. No more spam. Thanks!



very easy and no more spam!

Sets a cookie on a random URL that is then checked when a comment is posted. If the cookie is missing the comment is marked as spam.

<p>The Cookie Law is one of the most stupid law in the world. Maybe made by someone, who doesn’t really understand how the web works.</p>
<p>Italy Cookie Choices allows you to easily comply with the european cookie law (and Italian too), showing a notice to the user only the very first time he visits your website.<br />
Message, position and the style can be easily modified through the plugin menu.</p>
<p>The plugin will not add any CSS stylesheet or Javascript file but only inline script, so it doesn’t make your website slower.</p>
<p>Now you can block all cookies with new Third Part Cookie Eraser, activated it and let me now if you have any issue</p>
