Component body

Sentry is a module which "protects" parts of the site by requiring the user to confirm they satisfy a certain set of conditions. If they do, they are granted access. If they do not, they are redirected.

This module will be implemented as a block and can therefore be used to protect different parts of the site.

The module relies on Javascript and Cookies, and as such is a weak form of protection which can be easily circumvented. If users do not have these browsr features available, a disclaimer message will still be displayed on the page, ensuring that the user is on notice of the requirements for the page.
