Description
I'd like the language selector to set a permanent cookie indicating one's language preference. However due to EU law we must have a clear consent of user to do so. Therefore I propose the following:
- Start up page reads a cookie.
- If no cookie is set, determines user's locale.
- When the user selects something from the language combo box for the first time, display a banner with EU blablabla text and asking whether they want their language selection to be remembered.
- If answer is yes, then set a persistent
languagecookie with language selected. - If answer is no, then set a session
no_cookiescookie that prevents the dialog from popping up.
Note: "the first time" interpreted as: "user has neither language nor no_cookies set"
@lyssdod pls implement the banner. It will look ugly if I did it.
PS: applies to erint.science as well. I wager we want to make a separate option there to auto-redirect you to your prefferred language version.
