Global alert level configuration and persistence across sessions

Todo

• Configure cookies so we can have multiple global banners?
• Configure cookies so it's a different cookie per site

@djay Any ideas on cookie configuration? We could use the site title to at least relate each cookie to the site, but that doesn't solve the multiple banners problem (if it's even a problem)

[djay]

I'm guessing at your problem since don't really describe it.
Are you saying that currently the dismiss doesn't work when the user refreshes the page?
if so

• yes you need a cookie
• I'd either use block UID ie alert-xxxxxx: true
• OR probably nicer is a hash of the block contents. because I bet they will disable the alert and then re-edit it later and think this will show again for users. hash of the block will avoid that.

if you set a expiry of say 6 months on the cookies it will help prevent them building up too much if the content changed a lot

We should be able to hash the whole block data fairly easily, so this seems like a good approach.

NSW code seems to default to 7 days actually!

@JeffersonBledsoe 7 days it is then
