Presentation
Advanced Cookie Banner allows you to automatically display a banner informing your customers about the cookie’s usage on your shop, according to the GDPR European regulation, while preventing some modules from execution until your customer has accepted the terms. The module also complies with the last CNIL recommendation of October 2020 advising a simple and fast action to accept all cookies, only some of them, or refuse them all.
General Points and Operating Principles
First and foremost, our module is using the new Google rules regarding the cookie banners on mobile, allowing you to not be penalized in terms of your SEO. You can find more informations about these rules by clicking here.
Our module doesn’t use any override to prevent the selected modules from execution.
Furthermore, it is shipped with a default banner text for each language of the European Union. Plus, you can find examples of explicatives pages for each language, usable as CMS pages, here.
Finally, our Simulation Mode only displays your banner systematically to the ip addresses defined in the Maintenance tab of your back-office, so you don’t bother your customers while customizing your banner.
