About Piwik Notifier Bar
From the official readme · v0.3.1Description
This Plugin was strongly motivated by the needs for German law. It is demanded that you show a user that you use Piwik and Piwik by itself uses a tracking cookie to track you through the whole website.
Instead of modifing all the themes to show a small bar at the top of every page, i decided to write a small plugin to do the trick for me.
- Adds Bar with custom Text to Top of every Page
- Button with custom Text to confirm to tracking
- Add a new Page to your site to display the Piwik-Iframe to disable the Piwik-Tracking-Cookie
- Add a Shortcode for the Piwik-Iframe to disable the Tracking-Cookie [piwik-iframe]
- Custom CSS File for your own style to match your current theme
Development of the Plugin is managed through GitHub Please help me make it a better plugin and send me pull-requests
