Customize the cookie message

To customize the cookie message and button labels for this feature:

1. Edit the custom language files for the languages on your platform, for example, lang_en_US_custom.json

2. Change the default labels for the cookie message and the privacy policy, which are as follows. 

   "login.cookies.info":"The Abiquo Cloud Platform uses cookies to give you a consistent experience as you use the service. If you want to know more, please read our privacy policy.", "login.cookies.accept.button":"I understand", "login.cookies.policy.button":"Privacy policy", "login.cookies.cookiespolicy.button":"Cookies policy",

3. At the end of the file, add the __EOF label, for example:

   "login.cookies.cookiespolicy.button":"Cookies policy", "__EOF": "End of file" }

   If you do not add the __EOF label, the UI will not load correctly and the login form will not display.

4. Save your file in UTF-8 format

5. To display your changes, reload the UI
