Comply With EU Cookie Policy and add Custom Notification Bar
Comply With EU Cookie Policy and add Custom Notification Bar
While we use Blogger platform then we have to comply with
all terms and conditions of Google Blogger. But many of us don’t have basic
knowledge about that. You will see most of the terms and conditions are written
on Blogger Help site. But most of the newbie are not aware of that. But some
important notification from Google will be appear on your Blogger Dashboard.
Some of them are not important and some of them are very important that you
must comply with that.
Blogger Users recently might have seen a notification on
your Blogger Dashboard about European Union (EU) laws require you to give EU
visitors information about cookies used on your blog. In many cases, these laws
also required you to obtain EU visitor’s consent.
This law requires all blog publishers must have to give information
towards EU visitors about cookies used on your blog. This notification has
automatically added by Google thus publisher display cookies used to European
visitors. Actually this will help to comply with the European Union
regulations.
However Blog publisher's responsibility to ensure that the
Notification bar must be clearly visible on the blog. And you are not allowed to stop displaying the
Notification bar by using any CSS or JavaScript.
The main condition is to display the Cookie information
through a notification bar in your blog. But this will only for EU visitors.
What is Cookies?
Cookies are data or information in the form of text from a
website a visitor’s visit which is stored in the web browser. Data or
information helps the site to recall information about your visit. As a result,
when you visit same site next time then it will be easier and the site will be
lighter to be accessed. Because, that site already loaded on your browsers.
Why we should Comply with EU Laws?
For using these cookies in different countries has different
rules and regulation. Recently EU has Impose identical rules and the EU
countries have laws that regulate the use of cookies on the internet. As a
result EU forced to Google that their Blog user must be follow their
regulation. Those who are using Google AdSense they must strictly follow
this rules and regulations.
What will happen if you don’t comply with EU regulation?
Well this is a good query that if you don’t comply with EU
regulation what will happen then? A site which does not ask for permission to
use cookies of EU visitors, then such actions would be considered illegal. So
first you have to display the cookie information bar and with this, the site
asks for permission to use cookies of EU visitors. If the visitors become agree
with that, then a visit to the site should be continued.
However, if visitors are not agree to share their
information and don’t give permission to a site for using cookies then visitors
have the right to not continue their visit on that site. As a result your site
will not in risk of violating the EU law.
Does our Blog Display Cookie notification automatically?
Blogger user may become annoyed for different rules and
regulation and now thinking that they have to add another JavaScript based
widget to display notification. But don’t worry, because Google hosted all Blog
will automatically display notification about cookies. You don’t have to
display any notification bar that occupies your site space. But if you wish you
can use custom notification bar for using EU visitor’s cookies.
If you are using
blogspot blog, then automatically your own blog EU Notification Bar Cookies of
Blogger, as well as that already use a custom domain.
How to see notification Bar?
You may think that you can’t see the notification bar and
your Blog is not functioning properly. But you are wrong. For checking the Notification
Bar Cookies EU, to simply you have to replace blogspot .com with country specific
domain suffix such as
.au, .de, .fi, .fr, .jp, .kr, .nl and .se
- For example Yourblog.blogspot.com
- And now replace it with below suffix- Yourblog.blogspot.de
As a result instantly yourdomain.com.prx.gb.teleport.to. EU
and display the Notification Bar Blogger Cookies can be modified.
In case of Custom Domain you can also see the Cookies
notification bar. For example my blog URL is
- http://www.bloggerspice.com /
And now just added prx.gb.teleport.to
which is display another page that will verify you that are you human or robot.
Just write the CAPTCHA and you will see your site with cookies notification bar.
- http://www.bloggerspice.com.prx.gb.teleport.to/
But for those who use a custom domain blogspot and also use
the service CloudFlare to handle cookies, then the Notification Bar Cookies
Blogger EU will not appear. And I told before that if you use Google Adsense,
then this will be at risk for the sustainability of Adsense blog. In this case
you must use custom Notification bar for using cookie information.
Some Blogger may think that they have privacy policy page
but that is not enough for asking permission. Because not every visitors will
visit privacy policy page regularly. So it must be visible by a custom
notification bar thus visitors can easily give permission to use cookies to
that site.
How to Hide or Disable the EU default Cookies Notice?
You are not allowed to hide or disable the EU cookies
notice. But If you would like to use custom cookies notification bar then you
must hide the default one. In this case you can add the below script above the
closing </head> tag
Step 1 Log in to your Blogger Account and Go to
your Blogger Dashboard
Step 2 Click on Now click on -> Template -> Edit
HTML->
Step 3 Now find the </head> by pressing Ctrl+F (Windows) or CMD+F (Mac)
Step 4 Copy the script from below and Paste it above/before </head>
<script type="text/javascript">
cookieChoices = {};
</script>
Step 5 Finally hit the Save template button.
Add Custom EU Cookies Notice Bar
You can customize the EU notification bar because this
looks are not good. In case of some Blog it doesn’t match with the color
combination. So by giving customize looks we can make it more attractive. Just
follow the below steps-
Step 1 Log in to your Blogger Account and Go to
your Blogger Dashboard
Step 2 Click on Now click on -> Template -> Edit
HTML->
Step 3 Now find the ]]></b:skin> by pressing Ctrl+F (Windows) or CMD+F (Mac)

link: "https://www.blogger.com/go/blogspot-cookies",
close: "Got it!",
learn: "Learn More" };
</script>
<style>
.cookie-choices-info {
z-index:999999!important;
background-color:#181818!important;
border-bottom: 3px solid #0697FD;
box-shadow: 4px 4px 0px rgba(33,33,33,0.45)!important;
padding:3px 0px!important;
}
.cookie-choices-info .cookie-choices-text{

</style>
