LAW CHANGE – Tracking will no longer require permission

Hi all, just a short note about the change in the European Law;

At the time of writing this, the intend is that cookies required for analytical purposes (google analytics, piwik, etc) will no longer need permission.

When this proposal is accepted and permission is no longer needed, you can do one of the following;

1. If you only installed and configured this plugin because of analytical cookies; deactivate the plugin. We thank you for using it and we understand why you no longer will be.

2. If you have other types of cookies as well; social (facebook, google plus) or advertorial (google adwords), you will need to reconfigure; you can set Tracking cookies to be “On until user denies them explicitly”. This will present the visitor a choice.

3. Under same premise as option 2, you can remove any code testing the visitors permission ( function call coia('tracking') or filter-call apply_filters('eu_cookie_consent', 'tracking') and set tracking cookies to the off position in the settings.

4. Also, if the plugin is still needed; you can switch the affected condition checks from tracking to functional; this will effectively always accept, and you can set the setting to off for tracking cookies.

If you have questions, feel free to ask, but allow some response time due to the holidays.

Thank you, merry Christmas and a prosperous 2013!
