# Mouseover (hover) Popup

 * Hi, this is a great plugin that I’ve been using for a while. A couple of questions
   though that have come up recently: –
 * – Is there a way to show the modal box on mouseover rather than click? We want
   to test to see if a mouseover will make the information under the “Online Stockists”
   button more discoverable.
 * – I’ve had mixed results with GDPR plugins and I’d like to do my own using a 
   combination of geolocation and easy fancybox. I’m guessing that would need the
   Pro plugin so that we can detect that the box has been closed. Is there any way
   you have that can reset that cookie so they can see the GDPR warning again. I
   guess going on from that, can we reset the cookie after a given time too.
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmouseover-hover-popup%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * there is no way to make the light box open on mouseover except to create your
   own javascript (jQuery possible) to trigger a click on the element on mouseover.
   However, I do not recommend doing such a thing… Any web page state changes should
   involve an active user interaction like a click or tap, not insignificant and
   possible involuntary events like mouseover. These events might cause some small
   visual effects like underline or color change, but not something that completely
   changes the pages appearance and mode of interaction.

 * The pro options indeed include a way to hide a popup message for a set time period.
   Once closed, the same light box can be triggered again by clicking the actual
   link to the inline content, no need to reset the cookie.
