About Cookie Bar

This is a lightweight WordPress plugin that displays a discreet notification bar at the bottom of your website, which can be dismissed and the dismissal is saved by cookie. It is perfect for implementing the EU cookie law (GDPR). The plugin allows you to customize the message and once a visitor accepts it, the bar disappears.
