I had your plugin running perfectly on my DEV site and as I was migrating it you guy put out an update or two. When my site resolved, while checking it at GT Matrix, I see this score: F, For not being Cookie-free anymore.

plugins/site-reviews/plugin/Modules/Session.php:
const SESSION_COOKIE = ‘_glsr_session’;

What happened in the last two updates? Can this be fixed?

I have the plugin deactivated so please ask if you want it on.

Thank you.

Hi @pxmedia

Site Reviews does not use cookies, however, it does use PHP Sessions and has since version 1.

You can verify this by using a browser extension (such as https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/editthiscookie/fngmhnnpilhplaeedifhccceomclgfbg in Chrome) to view the cookies that are used on your webpage.

Please see: https://www.thoughtco.com/the-difference-between-cookies-and-sessions-2693956

A session is server-side information intended to exist only throughout the visitor’s interaction with the website. Only a unique identifier is stored on the client side. This token is passed to the web server when the visitor’s browser requests your HTTP address. That token matches your website with the visitor’s information while the user is at your site. When the user closes the website, the session ends, and your website loses access to the information.

On a completely separate note, I can see that you are using: [site_reviews count=100] on your site. I suggest instead that you make use of the pagination option like this:

[site_reviews count=20 pagination=ajax]
