You need to start by going to 'Policy settings' in the Site administration and setting the Site policy handler (sitepolicyhandler) to 'Policies (tool_policy)'. Please see the documentation Policies for further information.

Hi Helen

I am looking as to how/where I can change the text in the pop-up: "If you continue browsing this website, you agree to our policies" as this statement is not compatible with EU Data Protection Law. Where can I change this text? Is it within the language pack or...?

Hi Gary,

You can change the text using the Language customisation feature. The string is guestconsentmessage in tool_policy.

What are you going to change it to?

Thanks Helen. 

I'll post the change of text here once done as the legal issue is with 'by continuing to use you agree...' as consent must be freely given, an affirmative action, etc. 

Cheers.
