Smart Cookie Notice for Joomla

Get Smart Cookie Notice for Joomla (v1.0.19)

Introduction

Access & Security, Site Management, Alerts & Awareness, Cookie Control, GDPR

Smart Cookie Notice for Joomla! is a lightweight Joomla! system plugin that displays a clean and responsive cookie notification banner to inform visitors about cookie usage.

The plugin is designed to work seamlessly with Joomla 6 and integrates naturally with Joomla templates using Bootstrap 5. It also includes fallback styles, allowing it to work even on templates that do not use Bootstrap.

Once a visitor accepts the cookie notice, a cookie is stored in the browser and the banner will no longer appear.

The plugin is designed to be fast, minimal and easy to configure while maintaining compatibility with modern Joomla! templates.

Functionality

Super simple yet complete, except it would be great if we can have an option to change the header title as well without the overriding it

Ease of use

I got all the features needed within the provided configuration area. No one will have difficulties using this plugin

Support

I got all the features needed within the provided configuration area thus I don't need them at all

Documentation

I got all the features needed within the provided configuration area thus I don't need them at all

I used this to: To get acknowledgement and consent from my site visitors. It can be used as other purpose if we can change the title within the configuration page itself later.

Owner's reply: Thank you for the great review!

Starting from version 1.0.14, the banner title can now be customized directly from the plugin settings without overriding the code.

If the title field is empty, the plugin will automatically use a fallback title.

Thanks again for your feedback!
