Comply with the cookie law with very little effort

A lot of concern has been caused by the “Cookie Law” which says you must tell people that you use cookies if you do, and 99% of sites do!

Well here’s a very simple jQuery bolt-on that deals with that, and although visitors need javascript enabled to see it, you have made “best efforts” to inform them, and on any eCommerce site you’re going to have a “this site requires javascript message” anyway.

The file to download is from github (isn’t opensource great?) here and is as simple to implement as add the script file to the head and somewhere on the page insert the following :

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $.cookieBar();
    });
</script>

The example page is also on github : http://carlwoodhouse.github.com/jquery.cookieBar/.
