Hey @Jdlrobson how are you doing it to see that message? I use the site in Europe and I've never seen that dialog :S

@Jhernandez it's not deployed this. @Florian do you know when are we looking to deploy this to give a sense of when Nirzar needs to provide this input by?

Here's a mockup for this message and the improvements are listed.

here's zeplin spec: https://zpl.io/1OYjwB with assets in it

• i used the word this website because I''m guessing wikipedia is specific for one wiki
• the button is from oojs ui UI-Standardization

@Jdlrobson I'm not sure, if this is ever being deployed to any wmf-wiki, at least I'm not aware of planned deployments.

@Nirzar Thanks for the example! You shouldn't forget the "More information" button, which can be configured in the CookieWarning extension :)

Btw.: Is there a way to use zeplin without the need to register an account (which I don't want to do :P)?

As far as i know, the legal requirement is informing users, a "more info" link would be optional. ping Legal maybe? as part of transparency we can provide that but i doubt the usefulness to non tech savvy readers (majority) but it will add more weight for sure.

thoughts?

I'm afraid not :( any particular reason not to sign up? not good privacy policy?
I actually wanted to add you to the zeplin boards in general. so you will have access to all designs.

As far as I know, you're right (however, I'm not a specialist in these legal problems :P). But, the extension provides a way to add a more information link, so it should at least shouldn't look too crappy :D

I, in general, don't see the point to register an account, if I "just" want to access the information, without changing it :) However, as far as the image shows anything I need, anything is fine with me, without accessing zeplin directly.

want to access the information, without changing it

you can actually comment and reply on zeplin. i think that's where identity comes in. but let check with them if they have public boards.

Ok, no response so far, so I registered, but:

You’re not invited to this project

... :( :(

@Florian I will need your email address. so i can add you on the project. unfortunately it's not public by default. but i try to add everyone interested so they can have access.

you can send your email address to "npangarkar@wikimedia.org"

also thank you for your patience :)

Ok, got access.

@Nirzar: What do you think: Is something like "Click here for more information" an appropriate thing (clicking on the whole box sends to the information box)?

@Florian I updated the design in zeplin. it has a know more link within the message.
it's small i believe but this goes on top of everything so every pixel counts.

I don't think, that the image is really needed:

However, I think the intention is, that users are more open to visual things than textual. But is this really needed here? :D

Change 319890 had a related patch set uploaded (by Florianschmidtwelzow):

This message is targeted towards a particular set of people who are used to getting the cookie message on each website. the problem is. we need to distinguish between any message vs cookie message. I was in europe for a while and i kept getting messages from website telling me about cookies which is a legal requirement. and i had to read through it a every time because eveyerone has their own cookie message. but one website had a cookie image on it.. literally image of a cookie.. knowing it was _that_ message was really helpful. for a user, who knows what this is and is okay with it... we need a quick decision maker.

Ok, that's a good point! I think, keeping this in mind, it's worth adding an image :)

Because of the use of the Unicode cookie icon, I haven't used the gra background:
