Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Smart Cookie Kit

From version 2.1, Smart Cookie Kit detects when a site is published in multiple languages with WPML or Polylang. In that case, it activates an option to insert the content of the banner in a mask similar to that for posts and pages, so it is possible to manage the contents translations following the normal translation procedure of the mentioned plugins. JavaScript error "google is not defined" This error occurs because "something" is trying to init the maps when the Google Map script is not loaded yet (it was blocked by Smart Cookie Kit!). Give a read to this thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-referenceerror-google-is-not-defined-5/ Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in smart-cookie-kit/plugin_options.php This problem is caused by the PHP version used on the web server. Please, change your web server configuration (or ask to your system administrator) to use a PHP version >= 5.4 (checking if others components raise errors).
Yes, optionally. The plugin can save a log into the server every time a visitor updates his preferences. The logs are stored and protected from public access in the "/wp-content/cookie-preferences-log/" directory. The banner is not responsive / On mobile the banner is not centered Depending on the theme, the default CSS rules may not be enough to view correctly the banner. It may help modify the field "CSS for banner content" adding this rule: "box-sizing:border-box;"
Yes, optionally. From the version 2.0.4 of Smart Cookie Kit :)
