Is it possible to change the cookie settings in Webflow so that completing the Mailchimp signup form in the pop-up and closing it will prevent the pop-up from displaying again for that user, even after the set time period has expired?
Yes, it is possible to change the cookie settings in Webflow to control the behavior of the Mailchimp signup form pop-up. By default, the pop-up will display again for users even after they have completed the form and closed it, once the set time period has expired. However, you can customize this behavior to prevent the pop-up from displaying again for a specific user, even after the set time period has expired. This can be achieved by implementing the following steps:
Access the Website Settings: Go to your Webflow project and navigate to the "Project Settings" section by clicking on the gear icon in the left sidebar.
Configure the Pop-up Element: Select the pop-up element that contains the Mailchimp signup form on your page. In the element's settings, you can modify various attributes, including its behavior and visibility.
Add Custom Code: To control the cookie settings, you'll need to add custom code to your project. Webflow allows you to include custom code in the "Project Settings" section. Click on the "Custom Code" tab and navigate to the "Footer Code" section.
JavaScript Implementation: In the "Footer Code" section, add JavaScript code that will handle the pop-up's cookie behavior. You can use JavaScript to set a cookie when the user completes the Mailchimp signup form and closes the pop-up. This cookie will then prevent the pop-up from displaying again for that specific user, even after the set time period has expired.
Here's an example of the JavaScript code you can use to set the cookie:
```javascript
// Set cookie function
function setCookie(name, value, days) {
var expires = "";
if (days) {
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days _ 24 _ 60 _ 60 _ 1000));
expires = "; expires=" + date.toUTCString();
}
document.cookie = name + "=" + (value || "") + expires + "; path=/";
}// Check if the cookie exists
var cookieExists = document.cookie.indexOf("completedSignup=true") > -1;// If the cookie doesn't exist, show the pop-up
if (!cookieExists) {
// Implement your pop-up code here
// Add event listener to monitor the completion of the signup form
// When the form is submitted and closed, set the cookie
// For example:
document.getElementById("signup-form").addEventListener("submit", function() {
setCookie("completedSignup", "true", 30); // Set the cookie to expire in 30 days
});
}
```Customize the code according to your pop-up's element ID and the desired expiration time for the cookie.
Update and Publish: Save the changes in Webflow and publish your site to make the updated cookie settings live.
By implementing this approach, users who complete the Mailchimp signup form and close the pop-up will not see it again, even after the set time period has passed. This can help improve the user experience and prevent unnecessary pop-up interruptions. Remember to regularly test your website to ensure the desired behavior is being implemented correctly.
