Hi friends, as you know we have in Italy a recent law that undertakes to make an opening message to inform visitors about cookies of the site. In previous theme we used a plug in that generated a pop-up.
Now we are installing your Newspaper theme, so we ask you how is better:
is there an expect function in the theme for these function?
do we need a plug in (pop up)?
in that case, which you recommend?
Thank you very much,
all the best
Hello,
Unfortunately the theme does not have any such option. You will have to use a plugin to do it. You can try to search through this forum to see what others use or maybe a member of our community can suggest a plugin for the cookie law policy .

Thank you!
Hi,
In France, we have now a new law which forces the websites to let visitors navigate WITHOUT cookie if they choose that option. So a page with “more info” about the cookies is not enough. And most of the plugins (that I know) offer the possibility to add a button “I Refuse” but they don’t go further. We have to implement a “if … function” everywhere :
if ( function_exists(‘cn_cookies_accepted’) && cn_cookies_accepted() ) {
// code here
}
My question to the theme’s team : is there something in your todo-list to make the theme compatible wich such policies (EU-policy, French one etc.) or not ?
By the way, is there a simple way to add a function to make the theme compatible with the option “I refuse” ?
Hi,
@kadmael Of course there is. A theme update is planned in the matter of GDPR, it should be available soon. Please have a little more patience.
Great !

Hi Simon, will you provide the update within the deadline by May, 25th?
That would be very helpful, since there are some beefy fines for those of us who do not follow the new rules.

The update is currently in final stages. It will be released before the deadline, the team is working fast to provide this update as soon as possible.
