Is Cookie Notice compatible with GDPR?

Any answer?

I’d love to read an answer too

Yes it is.
The only feautre missing is the option to revoke the user consent and we’re woring on it currently.

Thank you!

@dfactory – does this plugin force the consent? So what happens if people say no or simply don’t answer at all? Also, does it pop-up for all site visitors or only those who are in the EU?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Regarding your questions:

– No, it doesn’t force the content – you can’t do that.
– if people say no, we store their decision. if they don’t answer no data is sent.
– It pup ups for all visitors.

gnerally we’re working on improving the script blocking handling in CN.

@dfactor So as long as they don’t answer (or say no) no cookies are placed at all? Not even analytics?
What about cookies that e.g. affiliate links place – if people don’t answer and continue to read your site, then click on any affiliate link that places cookies, then it’s not really ok legally?
Is there even a way to do this on all-in basis???
Thanks

I’d love to know the answer to @jurgar’s question as well. From what I understand, users have to explicitly consent to cookies being placed in their browser. If they ignore the notice and peruse your site, cookies will be placed even though they didn’t consent.

Hi,

However the term “non functional” is the correct term used by GDPR to address all cookies/scripts that are …non functional ( meaning they are not necessary to let a site fucntion ). As a matter of fact, we do not need explicit consent to use those functional cookie, we just need to let the user know we use them and why, in our Privacy statement.

Everything beyond that scope ( not necessary to get a site function well ) are “non functional” cookies, like Google Analytics, remarketing code, facebook pixel tracking etc. If they are present, these scripts and cookies, need to be blocked by default, and only fire after the explicit consent is given.

That is what happens when we add those codes into the Cookie Notice area ( and remove them from their previous locations ).That are not active and wont be, unless the user clicks ok. If they do nothing, the scripts are not allowed to track by GDPR.

Exceptions are Google Analytics if in the analytics account the anonimize ip and do not share with google is checked.

Cookie Notice is not compliance with GDPR but will be with new update until May 25th. (I got pm info from company).

@logologics Do you know if this plugin does this – block the non-functional cookies?

@josmatic to be precise:

Cookie Notice itself is 100% GDPR compliant.

To allow users make their websites GDPR compliant it needs one more feature, which is to allow to revoke the consent. And that’s what will be included in the upcoming release.

Thank you on info.

Ideally, can you provide us with the proposed wording that we would need to add to our “Privacy Policy” for your plugin. Perhaps even expose a shortcode?

With new update of WordPress to 4.9.6 you have Privacy Policy Guide.
