Make "disclaimer4" cookie not be session Anonymous 09/11/2023 (Mon) 20:43:26 Id: fbec5b No. 8469
Hey site owner, I remember you said you had to put that annoying disclaimer page on to appease your webhost, but could you please change the "disclaimer4" cookie to have a sensible expiry time (say 1 year) instead of expiring after every session? It's annoying to have to click through the disclaimer after every time we close our browser. Since we can already change the cookie ourselves anyway, you'd just be making it smoother for us while still fulfilling your host's requirement.
>>8469 Actually, is this a good idea?
>>8469 The point of the disclaimer is that it stops certain web archival services from looking up our stuff. Not because WE have anything to hide, but because in the past a malicious troll group used to post CP on SFW boards, archive the threads and the url of the file and use those to report the site to the authorities, all through TOR too if I recall correctly. However, it would be a good idea to make the disclaimer last for at least like, a couple of days any time you clear a captcha.
>>8475 The "certain web archival service" doesn't respect robots.txt?
>>8469 I was going to comment this in the sticky thread, but I think it looks better here. >could you please change the "disclaimer4" cookie to have a sensible expiry time (say 1 year) instead of expiring after every session? I know the thread is old and now the cookie "TOSYYYYMMDD=1" is used (and that changes all the time), so ideally the expiration time should be at least two weeks. >It's annoying to have to click through the disclaimer after every time we close our browser. The same can be said for mobile browsers. In my case I have a smarthphone with 934 MB of RAM so the browser is prone to close when I open another application that needs a certain amount of memory. This makes that when accessing the chan from there the fucking disclaimer is displayed all the time. For what it's worth I have Fennec 57, but I remember reading about the same thing happening to an anon on the Android version of Icecat or Waterfox.
