Website owners have been told that they must change the way they explain the use of cookies on their websites and, if they don’t, they face a potentially large fine. Over 90% of websites use cookies.

We have spoken about the new EU Cookie law in the past and it has been one of those things we can’t decide what to think about. The just the other day I stumbled upon a video by Oliver at Silktide explaining this problem in more detail.

Adding more z-indexes to new menu items would be far to complicated. Sure, we could probably add some server side code or even javascript to make a dynamic class, but I thought to myself surely there must...
