• Is there a way to forcibly reset all cookies for return visitors? We need to purge all time-based cookies from previous visitors. Is this possible?

    Hi @bigskillet,

    The cookie expires when a user quits the browser, are you needing it to clear if they go to a different site and come back? If so, it should be possible, are you using standard or javascript Aga gate?

    Thanks

    I have a situation where we were using the “remember me” time-based feature for a while, then turned it off so that the age gate was required for every session. I have visitors who can still access the site even after ending and starting a new session. The only thing I can think of is that they still have an old time-based cookie somehow.

    We’re using the standard version.

    Yeah that makes sense. Let me have a look into it, should be possible I think, just need to get it high enough up the actions.

    Bear with me.

    Cheers

    Hi again,

    I think this is going to be harder than I thought, who knew you couldn’t get the expiry time of a cookie (learn something new everyday!)

    I think what I’ll do is add a new setting to customise the cookie name, then you’ll be able to add an option there and any return visitors width the otld cookie name will need to be retested.

    Hopefully have it out today

    Thanks
    Phil

    Hi @bigskillet,

    That’s now available as an advanced setting in 2.6.0. Let me know if you have any issues.

    Thanks

    Thanks!

    What was the previous cookie name generated? The domain? I want to make sure I don’t use the same name and defeat the purpose.

    Hi @bigskillet,

    The default is age_gate, so anything but that you should be good.

    Cheers
