Fork: this fork is a modified version of the cookie law plugin to update it to work properly in our server + some changes that are exclusively relevent to our site. To make sure mybb doesn't set cookies when cookies are disabled, 2 files need small changes: inc/functions.php:

function my_setcookie($name, $value="", $expires="", $httponly=false, $samesite="", $bypass_cookieopt=false) {
	global $mybb;

	//Avoid setting cookies when cookies are not allowed.
	if(!$bypass_cookieopt && isset($mybb->cookies['allow_cookies']) && $mybb->cookies['allow_cookies'] == '0')
		return;

jscripts/general.js (insert in the head of the Cookie.set function), :

if(Cookie.get('allow_cookies') !== '1')
	return

This plugin is unlikely to receive any further updates.
