Hi,
Adblock (EasyList) appears to be blocking https://wordpress.org/plugins/cookie-law-info/ when installed on a wordpress website as part of the "Fanboy annoyances" list, the plugin is hardly an annoyance, it's there for the user(s) to know that the site is using cookies and is there for legal reasons (businesses legally have to make it clear)
It also brakes simple-press forums "Add reply" button because of I guess the order of blocking/allowing the plugin.
Adblock is blocking cookie-law-info plugin content which brakes other things
Do you have an example page where this happen?RyanD wrote:It also brakes simple-press forums "Add reply" button because of I guess the order of blocking/allowing the plugin.

http://cookielawinfo.com/ as you can see it also breaks a bunch of other things like the CSS and other javascript on the page... no idea why.Khrin wrote:Do you have an example page where this happen?RyanD wrote:It also brakes simple-press forums "Add reply" button because of I guess the order of blocking/allowing the plugin.
I'd hardly call a small bar like that an annoyance, especially when for commercial sites it is law that they have a cookie system similar.

Keep in mind that any cookie warning messages will be blocked.

The modification you did there doesn't fix the plugin itself, can I PM you somehow a link to a site that has the plugin installed that has issues (one that I don't want to post publicly)
Why are the cookie warnings blocked, it's EU law to have these warnings for the users security...
Thanks
They distract the user from content being displayed with annoying warnings. If you deploy the cookie plugin on a 3rd party site I do suspect the Annoyances filter will break it.
If its an issue I would recommend to either whitelist your site personally, or disable the Annoyances list.

AdBlock Plus works partly as a security tool, it' counter intuitive to disable small, non-annoying cookie bars like this because they are there to alert the user that the site uses cookies.fanboy wrote:They distract the user from content being displayed with annoying warnings.

Any and all European businesses who have websites that use cookie s are legally obliged by European Law to show such a notification to allow the user to know that the site uses cookies for x or y so that the end-user can decide wether or not he/she wants to proceed and use that website as it "gives individuals the right to refuse the use of cookies" to ensure that users can have privacy online.
The script that you are running breaks more than just the cookie plugin... almost like your annoyances list has an issue or one filters is being over-aggressive.
If it disabled strictly just the plugin then that would be fine for me personally but it still means your list is in breach of the "Cookie Law" because there is no notification that the "Annoyances" list disables cookie notifications on websites.

- Filter list maintainers and users have no obligation under this law, only webmasters do. People using anti cookie notice filters and browser extensions are basically saying that they get that there are cookies and are tired of the obtrusive cookie notices. These filters are created for private individuals, not for corporations or governments and it looks like the users of anti cookie cookie filter lists really don't like cookie notices (who would have figured?): search.php?keywords=cookie, https://github.com/liamja/Prebake/issues?utf8=✓&q=, https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-co ... ?utf8=✓&q=
- A lot of cookie notices are poorly made. I block cookies by default and add exceptions for the sites that need cookies to function and / or display properly and when I have uBlock Origin turned off I still see cookie notices even though I am blocking cookies. There are a few sites that won't show cookie notices when you have cookies turned off, but the majority still show them. And since no cookie is being stored there is no way for the site to remember that I clicked ok, so the notice will pop up on every new page I open, just for blocking cookies.
- To quote a YouTube user: "To say "This website uses cookies" is the same as saying "the air you breathe contains oxygen". Cookies are used by 92% of all websites. People who know what cookies are know that almost all sites use cookies and how to block cookies and people who don't know what cookies are will probably not be told what cookies are by the cookie notices. The cookie notices usually just say that the site uses cookies and don't bother to explain what cookies even are.
- Online privacy is dead nowadays and there are scarier / more important online privacy issues than cookies that aren't being addressed, like browser fingerprinting, zombie cookies, and adware in software installers: https://amiunique.org/faq, https://panopticlick.eff.org/, http://samy.pl/evercookie/, http://www.howtogeek.com/207692/yes-eve ... the-proof/
