GDPR friendly
-
Since this plugin does not collect any personal information about visitors and does not call any 3rd party URLs such as Google Analytics, it can allow you to reach a fully GDPR-compliant status and to remove the pesky dark-patterned cookie banners that plague most websites nowadays – at least if you do not tick the option to store a tracking cookie for returning visitors. Your visitors will thank you!
For the plugin writers: the cooking option needs some work to be able to fit in the current GDPR framework, as visitors need to have the ability to disallow setting of such a cookie. This is usually done by setting the cookie via a separate JS function that gets only called after the user says “I consent” on the cookie banner. Cookie banner plugins usually have a JS hook to call said function. I’d suggest an extra setting checkbox to allow the webmaster to call manually (e.g. via a cookie banner plugin) the cookie setting function. If you implement this, you’ll get five stars ;o).
