I am just restarting work on my file after a 2 week lay off. I have done globals for headers, footers, social media etc. and now as I am replicating my current site (e-commerce) I have got to the bit about cookie acceptance. Is there a way of doing the numerous “cookie stacks” for RW and Classic tha…

THANKS for your quick response that’s great to know. I will carry on today and come to something I can not do - as always - and I will be back asking questions again no doubt. Have a great day!

Thanks Ben that’s good to know
