    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Thanks Feherke, Your right, there is no issue with your code, the issue is with the google analytics code. _gat is not defined var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("**-******-1"); i'm having a look on google if there are any other people experiencing this problem. Once again, thank you.

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Thank You so much Feherke. This is brilliant. Just one thing, i don't think the cookies disable function is working as it should, when I click on the link to disable cookies, it doesn't remove the cookies when I go to look at them on firefox. Or alternatively could it be set so that when the...

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Thanks, I've got it showing on firebug... I've amended that if statement to instead of assignment with the one =, i've changed it to == which is equality check. This has sorted the error in firebug, however it still only sets the one cookie, not my analytics cookies...any suggestions, thanks...

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    I think it can also be set in the onClick in the button to determine the order of the functions to execute. Is the code i have put ok for checking if the cookie exists and if it does then allow the analytics cookies?

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Thanks guys, What the ICO have done is similar to what I am trying as well. I can get the cookie created, that fine. However what I want help on if possible is in my function cookieExists, in this function I want to check that the cookie named "websitecookie" exists and if it does, then I...

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Thanks Vacunita, I've sorted the cookie set function. Once the cookie has been created, how can i get it to automatically call my function to check if the cookie has been set and if it has, in the process allow the google analytics cookies to be set? The code i have for this is: function...

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Thanks Prattaratt, The website i work with has thousands of pages so the option of another website which is cookie free would not be an option for us, however yes that still leaves the question of what to do with the people who say no to cookies... As for the law, I don't think it relates to...

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Can i just run my code past you please, to check if I'm on the right track as javascript is not really my strong point. <input type="checkbox" onclick="Set_Cookie()"> Header code to create the cookie: <script type="text/javascript"> Set_Cookie( 'websitecookie', 'cookiecreated', 730, '/', ''...

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Thanks vacunita, I will work with your solution. Good question NESWalt, from all the current guidelines out there it seems if the user decides not to have cookies, they will end up getting a website that does not function well at all, the lawmakers do not seem to be too concerned about that.

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Ideally we wouldn't want the visitor to disagree. But if they disagree, then I don't want any cookies to be created. The cookie value if accepted will be accepted and if not it will be declined, if that is possible.

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Thanks NESWalt, This is not allowed for European sites under the new laws which will be coming into force. New laws make it compulsary for you to get the users consent, and until you don't get their consent you cannot place any cookies on this machine. This is the reason why I want to have...

    Allow cookies to only be created once user gives authorisation

    Hello, I am wanting to have a prompt on my webpage load that asks the user if they allow the use of cookies, this is in line with new european directives that are due to come into force. Once I get the user permission that is when I want the cookie to be set. I have the code to create the...
