New EU Cookie Law

[j6891]

Hi there,

First of all I'd like to say how great mibew is - works an absolute treat and very easy to use.

I do have one question though regarding the new EU cookie law. Cookies should only be used if the user has opted in and must be removed if the user opts out.

The buttons we embed in a webpage for the messenger set a PHPSESSID cookie even before the user clicks to initiate the chat. Is there a way the buttons can be placed without placing the PHPSESSID straight away and only when the user initiates the chat? That way we can put a warning on the button stating that the chat does use cookies.

I'm not overly familiar with PHP but could change some source files if you are able to advise what will need to be altered to achieve this?

OR is there a way that cookies don't need to be used at all? I realise this may be a naiive question!

Thank you once again for this great piece of software, I hope to hear from you soon.
