Extension:CookieWarning

The CookieWarning extension is a small and simple extension, that adds a way to show a small but "good visible" information banner to your wiki, which informs the user, that the wiki uses cookies to operate properly. The Pre-defined messages (english and german currently) also includes a sentence, that the user, if he uses the wiki, agrees, that the wiki uses cookies.

Background
In some countries, it's requires by law (e.g. in the european union), that you, as a website operator, ask your users for permission to use cookies with your website. In the EU, some of your partners may require you to ask your users to use cookies (e.g. because you use Google AdSense, which requires this notice ). To make it easier for wiki administartors to implement these notices, I created this extension (primarily for use on droidwiki.de).

Configuration
After the successful installation of CookieWarning, you need to enable it with the configuration option, which you need to set to true in your. If you have a page, where you explain how you and your partners use cookies in your wiki, you may want to link to this page. For this, you can add another configuration option,, which simply takes the URL of the page (full or relative, but relative may not work, if you use subpages in your wiki!). That's it, there aren't more configuration options.

It's too simple! I need help! (aka I found a bug, what should I do?)
