Using blogger, Google, the EU, and others

Post by MrPeople »

If anyone has a blogger account, there is a warning about:
"European Union Laws require" {paraphrasing is next} a person to give notice of cookies, reasons of use, etc al. Noscript removes this necessary notice.

Code: Select all

Moving to NoScript General as nothing here is Android-specific.

NoScript is a security tool, not a cookie banner remover. Unfortunately some cookie banner implementations do not work without Javascript and do not have a scriptless fallback, and so leave themselves tangled in NoScript's security measures.

If you want your cookie banner not to be blocked by NoScript, you could choose a different implementation (either that has a scriptless fallback or doesn't depend on scripts at all). Or if you cannot choose a different implementation on your platform, you could add your own scriptless fallback cookie notice like e.g.

Code: Select all

<noscript>
  <div style="position:fixed;bottom:0;background-color:#000;color:#FFF">This site uses cookies as described in our <a href="LINK TO YOUR PRIVACY POLICY THAT EXPLAINS THIS STUFF">privacy policy</a>.  To manage cookie preferences or dismiss this notice, enable Javascript in your browser.</div>
</noscript>
(This is just a quick example, not extensively tested, and may need re-wording depending on what your exact legal requirements are)
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

Image which is needed to post on blogger:

I am hoping that the image posts.
If you are in the United States, Google has this on Blogger.
It is a necesary requirement to allow the notice on Blogger.
Doing so against such is transgressing international law.
This tablet was found in the trash. I do not have a bluetooth keyboard
or a bluetooth mouse. Right clicking "view source" is not a feasible nor
possible realistic probability for me.

Let me have a few moments.
My foreward apologies.

I am not viewing any options to allow the notice.
Let me have another moment.
