{{block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" template="OuterEdge_Base::termly/cookie-policy.phtml"}}

Multistore projects

Add multistore.php to the top of the composer.json autoload/files section to allow separate config files (and thus databases) per store on the same instance/repository:

• Add to composer.json :

    "autoload": {
        "files": [
            "vendor/outeredge/magento-base-module/multistore.php",
            ...

• Then create individual env.php files for each, naming them env.php.STORE_CODE replacing STORE_CODE as applicable.
