    In the privacy overview Our lawyers have said the button “save and accept” should be changed to “save setttings”. How do I change the wording ?

      Hi Rob,

      As there is no option in the plugin to change this as of now, you may please copy the code snippet here to your active theme’s functions.php

      Hey Rob,

      Your lawyers aren’t actually correct, because what this button actually does in reality is:

      – ‘accept’ necessary cookies (as there’s no possible way to not accept them)
      – and then enable / disable additional categories based upon your selection.

      So by changing the button to say ‘save settings’ I would actually argue this is worse; because now at no point does a visitor click ‘accept’ at all.

      You can see how we have configured ours here: https://www.akikodesign.com/ < we believe this complies with GDPR rules as at the time of writing this message.

    Is there any way to have the cookie bar appear above the header, instead of on top of it?
