Uno dei migliori plugin in circolazione. Per la perfezione mancano solo alcuni elementi che sono certo lo renderebbero il migliore in assoluto. Il pulsante di chiusura (la famosa X che il legislatore Italiano ha voluto imporre) e la gestione singola dei cookie. Un grande grazie allo sviluppatore che lo rende disponibile e che ha condiviso questo bellissimo lavoro.

Not compliant with the current cookie law

Unfortunately this plugin is not compliant with the current GDPR which needs a differentiated cookie consent collection.
