Making a widget conditional on cookie(s)
-
Is there a way to use WordPress conditional tags to make a particular widget only load if the visitor has stored a particular cookie? (I have Widget Logic, but this really concerns the proper choice/syntax of conditional tags rather than the plugin itself, which just provides a convenient way to insert them.)
I have a PayPal button in a widget, and I would like to set that widget so that it only loads if the visitor has previously “I accept” on the privacy bar, which sets a cookie “gdpr%5Bprivacy_bar%5D” with content 1.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I could set a conditional tag that looks for the presence of this cookie/value, so I can place that with Widget Logic?
(I understand the principle of conditional tags, but the syntax of them is pretty opaque — this is not my field!)

I’m pretty sure that you could use Widget Logic for that.

You’d not use conditional tags but your own function to test for the existence of a particular cookie.
There are some examples of how to get cookies here: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/set-get-delete-cookies/
