Howdy. When examining the extension, I found out that it displays the cookie warning after (!) creating the session cookie. The "okay" button is fake because there is no way to say "no". It just creates another cookie to suppress the banner next time. Yet GDPR requires the user's active agreement before storing anything on their computer. Is there another extension that we can use to get the user's agreement before creating the session cookie? Or a hook where I can place my own code? Best place would be before showing the page content.


Yes, the consequence of denying cookies will be to not allow the user to use our wiki. And yes, GDPR is crazy, for sure.
