I seem to have lost the email from the guy who made the comment about the site in which the forum is embedded.

My memory tells me that it was less an issue with the Cookie page as such, but more surprise that it appears in the middle of the site and not when you first encounter the site. That's inevitable, of course, when the embedded forum is served from Nabble servers.

I haven't seen a cookie screen in years but what I had decided I would try to do is reduce the impact of it a little - but I could not find the code.

Since Hugo created it several years ago, at my request in anticipation of the new EU law being enforced, the UK's Data Protection Commissioner has indicated that he only requires something much more brief than the full explanatory document that Hugo produced.

These days all we need in the UK is a notification that cookies are used on a site and a link to a page that shows more information on how the data provided by the cookies are used. Most sites manage this through a narrow banner across the top of a page with an OK button to accept the cookies and a link to find out more details. (Some sites do not allow to continue unless you do accept them, but for most on clicking the OK button, the narrow banner then disappears - much like the "This forum is scheduled for deletion" notices from Nabble.)

I was just hoping to be able to achieve something like that.
