Why use Permission Bar?

There is a lot of mystery and fuss surrounding the new EU cookie legislation, but it’s essentially really simple. Cookies are files used to track site activity and most websites use them. Site owners need to make the use of cookies very obvious to visitors.

Permission bar makes it simple and clear to visitors that cookies are in use and tells them how to adjust browser settings if they are concerned.
