At last – a simple, straightforward Cookie Bar

I just wanted a cookie bar for my simple little website. After trying three that were over-complicated or didn’t seem to work, I found CookieAdmin. Installed it. Activated it. Done! Yay.

Good Plugin, but with no ability to provide custom text

This is good plugin with really easy-to-use settings. The only missing requirement is ability to provide custom text. For example in german, french, etc. Currently there is no ability to customize
