Cookie Consent Feature

In a recent post of his, Matt wrote this:

"4.2.8 has a cookie consent feature you can use. You can list the cookies that will be set if you continue using the site."

Where exactly is this located? I can't seem to find it (I'm Running 4.3 beta 3)

Article here:

 

And as usual in the ACP: Just type in a keyword (in this case “cookie”) in the ACP search bar and you can easily get to settings you don’t know where to find.

Thansk Opentype.

I did try to search the word, and this is what comes up: (see image), which has nothing to do with cookie settings.

It has. It might not be obvious at first glance, but those are the settings you want to go to.

Oh, Ok. I see it now. Thanks.

I thought "cookie settings" meant a member could actually pick which cookies he wanted and which ones he didn't!

All good, thanks.

Consent (Articles 7&8):

Consent obtained from users must be explicit and verifiable (opt-in). In getting consent for data use, you may not use overly complicated or indecipherable terms/ wording —this includes legalese and unnecessary jargon. This means that privacy notices must be laid out legibly (see ours here) using understandable language and clauses so that users are clear on what they’re consenting to. Consent for children under 13 must be given by a legal guardian using verification measures (e.g, control questions) and in general, it must be as easy for users to withdraw consent as it is for them to give it.

Because consent is such an important issue under the GDPR, it is mandatory that you keep detailed records of consent. The records should contain details of when and how consent was obtained and exactly what the user was told at the time.

 

Consent must be opt-in and not opt-out. 

This means information of what cookies the site uses is not enough. The user must be able to choose which cookies accepts to use and which cookies it does not accept. 

Just an example of how it should work:

@Lindy @Matt @Charles any though about this? As i understand, currently even on IPS 4.3.0, it only shows information of the cookies the site will use and and not an opt-in feature like GDPR requires.
