Sticky Cookie Accept Banner In jQuery - cookit.js

Just another JavaScript solution to make your site comply with the EU cookie law.

cookit.js is a tiny yet configurable jQuery cookie consent plugin to create a sticky bottom cookie bar that informs your users about the use of cookies on your website and asks them to agree to accept cookies.

The plugin displays the cookie consent banner on the user's first visit and remembers the user's choice for 365 days.
