Customize Blogger Cookies Notification Bar

Customize Blogger Cookies Notification Bar

Blogger automatically adds cookies notification bar if your blog is created over blogger.com. This cookies notification bar is only shown if your blog is viewed in European countries.

This bar comes up as a follow-up GDPR which stands for General Data Protection Regulation and is Data Protection Law in the EU, which comes into account from May 2018.

The name of the GDPR is used to give citizens control over their personal data and change the approach of organizations across the world towards data privacy. The GDPR provides much stronger rules than existing laws and is much more restrictive than the "EU Cookies Law".

So it is compulsory for the visitors from Europe to confirm that the data can be collected there must be a clear privacy policy showing that what data is going to be stored, how it is going to be used and provide the user right to withdraw the consent to use of personal data if required.

As I have told you that this blogger cookies notification bar only shows in European countries but if you want to see this cookies notification bar in your country if it is not in the European Nation then Go To your blog address and add ?gl=[countrycode] code after the URL of your blog in the URL Search Bar. Now your complete URL will look like this https://example.blogspot.com?gl=nl.
