Hi - I’m looking for a click-away GDPR disclaimer for end of page
“We use cookies only for web functionality and analytics”
Thank you
If you search cookies at top right hand side and you will see lots of suggested solutions for various types required
If you don’t want to build something yourself, a few members here have mentioned using https://www.cookieyes.com/ for all their Cookie/GDPR stuff. They have a free plan that allows 5,000 pageviews/month and 100 pages per scan, so if your site is not too big or busy, that free plan might work for your needs.
Plus it’s a UK company, so supports a local business.

According to the GDPR (at least here in Germany) users need to actively agree to analytics cookies if any data gets collected. So a simple click-away banner won’t do imho.

I wonder if the good people of Germany hate GDPR as much as we do
its a load of *** anyway, how many major data breaches, hacks etc have we had recently in UK and how much these big corporations have been fined? I am ISO registered company but have to be but they are inept!

Agreed. Unfortunately, GDPR is a core issue in how data is transferred. Legally, a website is not in compliance if any personal data or cookies are processed or shared without the visitor’s prior consent. I’m not a programmer, so I’m unsure exactly how a website design platform should handle this internally—perhaps some form of quarantine until consent is given. Regardless, a visitor’s data should not be collected, processed, or transmitted until they have explicitly granted permission.
EDIT:
Footnote: Under GDPR, the data in question is personal data, referring to any information that can directly or indirectly identify a natural person. This includes names, contact information, IP addresses, device identifiers, location data, and online identifiers such as cookies that can be linked to an individual. Data that is fully anonymized and cannot be traced back to a person is generally not subject to GDPR.

Am I ‘collecting information’ … I don’t think so but I honestly dont know.
Do you implicitly need to be collecting information to be doing so ?
… or is my server secretly compiling a list of user’s location and hair colour ?
I just wouldn’t know
I added a note above:

If you are in Uk you can go to ICO website and theres a checker to see whether you need to register or not. It will tell you after filling in questions whether you need to comply with GDPR regs. This is UK ONLY but I’m sure the ICO equivalents in each country would have same help. Obviously Europe is a lot more detailed than UK.
Thanks for sharing this @dang the free plan will work perfect for my needs.
