Setting Cookies Notification

To keep pace with recent legislation in the EU regarding the use of cookies, Zoey offers merchants the choice to obtain customer consent for cookies. Operating your store in Cookie Restriction Mode requires visitors to express their consent before cookies can be saved to their computers.  Unless consent is granted, many features of your store will be unavailable.

Although not required in the US, operating your store in Cookie Restriction Mode gives you the ability to be in compliance when conducting business in countries where the Cookie Law is in effect.

When Cookie Restriction Mode is enabled, visitors to your store are notified that cookies are required for full-featured operations. They are invited to read your Privacy Policy for more information, and encouraged to grant consent by clicking the Allow button. Your store’s default Privacy Policy page displays the name of your store and contact information, and explains the purpose of each cookie that is used by your store. Please note that this refers to stores using the classic design tools. Stores using the new design tools have to create their own Privacy Policy content.

If Google Analytics is available for your store, it is invoked only after the visitor has granted permission to use cookies.

To enable cookie mode: 

1. From your control panel, navigate to Set up > Site Configuration
2. Click  EU Cookie Law to expand the section.
3. Change Enabled to Yes
4. Save Config in the top right corner 
5. In order to take effect immediately, click Advanced > Store Refresh
6. Visitors will now see the default notification message when they visit your site 

If a visitor’s browser does not have JavaScript enabled, a message explains that JavaScript must be enabled to use the website. After JavaScript is enabled, the Cookie Law message prompts the visitor to read your Privacy Policy, and to click the Allow button to accept cookies from the site.
