About WPGear
From the official readme · v2.6Description
A simple and convenient solution for implementing the requirements of the Laws on Personal Data.
Futured
The main concept is to avoid unnecessary inconvenience.
The floating banner does not interfere with viewing content.
If the visitor agrees to the requirements and clicks the “I agree” button, the banner disappears and will no longer be displayed on the website for this browser on this device.
You can customize the Message Text and include a link to the Privacy Policy page.
The appearance, shape and location of the banner can be fully customized to suit your design using CSS.
Installation
- Upload ‘wpgear-consent-privacy-policy-acceptance’ folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
