Make it easier to comply with EU cookie law
It would be great to make it easier for customers in the EU to comply with the EU cookie law as I was told at the moment I would need to install a separate application to my site and add a cookie policy to make it comply.

Hi there dear tawker,
You just need to add a banner that says that you are collecting cookie information. See more information here: https://www.cookielaw.org/the-cookie-law/
Hope this helps!

Thanks for suggestions. My friend is searching for a job, she wants to do a job in the industry sector. And for that, he needs a top cv writer. I found https://topcvwritersuk.com/ website through which I am gonna take help but before that I want to read reviews. Can you help me in searching for a site online where I can read reviews?

Only wan't to notice, that this is not true anymore (Year 2021).
In the meantime it switched, so you must not use opt-out (means only to say that your page use cookies, and if the user doesn't wan't this, he have to leave)... BUT you MUST give the user the decision before you set those cookies (opt-in).So it would be nice to reopen this ticket.

According to the opt-in mechanism (required in some EU countries), you are not allowed to use any cookies until the user has given its consent, so a banner is not sufficient. The best solution would be for the widget not to set any cookies until a certain "consent" cookie has been set with the proper value.

Here (https://www.tawk.to/privacy-policy/) you say you collect IPs, so under the EU cookie law IMHO you can't simply link the privacy policy, but an user of your library have to request the permission to store third party cookies BEFORE storing a cookie.
Tawk.to stores a cookie when you launch it.
If you don't create something in the Tawk.to code, then we have to deal with this in the client side (in fact we do this at this time we do this way:
-----
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
if (Drupal.eu_cookie_compliance.hasAgreed()) launchTawk();
else jQuery('.agree-button').click(launchTawk);
});
-----I saw similar javascript chats supporting their own "cookie banner" so to not store the cookie until the banner has been clicked.
