• Hello, when running my website through [w3c validator](https://validator.w3.org/) I see the following error generated from the button on the cookie banner. It seems that the “href” attribute is not allowed. Please fix this. Thanks!!

    HTML from my webpage:
    <!-- Eu Cookie Law 3.1.4 --><div class="pea_cook_wrapper pea_cook_bottomright" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:rgb(0,0,0);background: rgba(0,0,0,0.85);"><p>By continuing to use the site, you agree to the use of cookies. <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="#" id="fom">more information</a> <button id="pea_cook_btn" class="pea_cook_btn" href="#">Accept</button></p></div><div class="pea_cook_more_info_popover"><div class="pea_cook_more_info_popover_inner" style="color:#FFFFFF;background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.9);"><p>The cookie settings on this website are set to "allow cookies" to give you the best browsing experience possible.
