[Geomoose-users] bypassing disclaimer.js

[Dan Little]

I get what you're going for but the original idea was to make it so that
Dialog was not by-passable. Right now the disclaimer shows up everytime a
user reloads the page (assuming you're using the built-in disclaimer
extension).  You could add a line of code that checks either cookies or
localStorage to see if the dialog has been shown before and if so, do not
show the dialog.

- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Storage/LocalStorage

so...

var seen_it = localStorage.getItem('seen_it');
if(seen_it != 'yup') {
 alert(...);
 localStorage.setItem('seen_it', 'yup');
}

That would at least mean all first time users and outside users are forced
to agree to the dialog.  And when you update the disclaimer or just want to
make sure people have looked at the disclaimer recently, you change "yup"
to "definitely" or some other value as it would invalidate the test even
for those who have "seen_it" set.
