Hide div element when cookie is present

I am trying to hide a popup that keeps appearing everytime a page is loaded. The plugin is not working out of the box.

Our site is: https://www.prikkabelled.nl/

A cookie is loaded into the browser after the user reads the popup message. The cookie is called pum-10366 with its value set to true.

So if the cookie is present with indexOf > -1, I don't want that popup to appear anymore.

This is what I've got so far:

jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
        if (document.cookie.indexOf("pum-10366") !== -1) {
           jQuery('#pum-10366').css('display', 'none !important');
        }
});

The pum element is that large popup that displays once. Any suggestions?

To fix this you need to remove the !important tag as jQuery doesn't understand it, therefore it's stopping the display from working:

jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
    if (document.cookie.indexOf("pum-10366") !== -1) {
       jQuery('#pum-10366').css('display', 'none');
    }
});

If you did need to include the !important tag for a reason you could toggle as class with importance already on:

CSS

  .important { display: none !important; }

JQUERY

jQuery("#pum-10366").toggleClass("important");
