  Version 2.3.1

  May 27th, 2022

  Adds a 'SameSite' attribute to cookies. An important new security feature that web browsers will start requiring soon.

  Version 2.3.0

  Aug 27th, 2021

  Changes in this free update include:

  • Further improvements to the display of consent and multi-consent popups in RapidWeaver edit mode.
  • Added a new checkbox option to omit MiniCookie from display on printouts or when you save a webpage as PDF.
  • Added some clever options to allow certain tracking cookies to auto-renew. For example, if someone dismisses a consent popup with an expiry of 7 days, then comes back to your website after 5 days, we can automatically reset the expiry date for another 7 days out into the future.
  • Added some information to forewarn that some web browsers (namely Safari 15) now cap cookie expiry dates to a maximum of 7 days.
  • Only display the 'placement' setting for supplementary links, when the configuration is set to 'get user consent (default)'.
  • New CSS loading animation effects for the consent popups.
  • Added the option to change the popup position to 'modal' which displays a popup in the dead-centre of the screen.
  • Fixes a problem whereby checkboxes might be out of alignment with labels, when using the "Source" theme framework.
  • Fixes a problem of the consent popup shadow rendering too hard in Microsoft Edge, specifically on Surface tablets.
  • Fixes an issue in some Brandon Lee themes of scrollbars appearing within consent popups. Possibly already fixed by Brandon Lee before this update was published?
  • Addresses a possible issue whereby the Cookie Plugin might conflict with themes or stacks using an older version of the same plugin.
  • Changes to some of the informational tooltips, to make things easier to understand.
  • Consent popups and multi-consent popups now support ARIA roles, titles and descriptions. Excellent for improved website accessibility.
  • A couple of other minor changes to the underlying source code, particularly towards compatibility of future PHP versions.

  The update is available to paying customers via automatic updates in Stacks / RapidWeaver or from your Paddle account.
