Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Simple GDPR
You should fill in the settings on the Settings page. They are just selecting your Privacy Page from the dropdown list of all page names. Optionally, enter your Google Analytics ID if you want to enable service-side Google Analytics - this helps track visitors with ad-blocking enabled. Leave blank if you track analytics with another method, or don't want to track analytics. The plugin also create a generic Privacy Page, using suggested test from the US Better Business Bureau. This is a page you can edit for your own needs. Or, select an existing Privacy Page via the dropdown list.
The visitor will see the notice if the Cookie Consent cookie the plugin uses is not set. Once the visitor agrees, the message will go away for about a year. If the visitor deletes the cookie, they will see the message again the next time they visit the site.
The "Cookie Consent" cookie is the only cookie stored when this plugin is activate. It only contains a 'yes' or 'no' value. There is no other user data stored on the visitor's browser, nor any data stored on your site other than the plugin options.
If you enable server-side Google Analytics (GA) by adding your GA ID number, the visitor's analytics are sent to GA. The visitor's IP address is anonymized before sending it to GA. The geocode for that anonymized IP address will only show the town location, not the user's specific location. There is no other user-related data or activities saved on your server except the visited page information.
Not with this version. Maybe with a future version. Unless you dig into the code. We'll might add something to the settings page in a future version. You can see the Cookie Consent message text and other information at https://cookieconsent.insites.com/ .
We think so. But, we are not lawyers, so we can't tell you for sure. We just figured that a simple way to put up a notice would be helpful for all the sites we manage. And we didn't find an existing plugin that wasn't complex to use for simple sites. That's why we wrote the plugin. Then we figured that others might find it useful. So, here it is.
Who knows? We're not lawyers. But our personal, non-binding, your-mileage-may-vary opinion is that it is enough for simple sites (blogs, brochures, etc) to comply with the (in our opinion) silly GDPR law. See the disclaimer above. We are providing this as a simple way of complying with the GDPR terms. Contact your legal advisors to see if it is good enough for your site.
If enabled, your Privacy page title/link is displayed in your site's footer. Note that there is no CSS for that link; you can adjust CSS using the 'privacy-policy-link' class in your theme, or in Appearances, Customize, Additional CSS (if supported by your theme).
Nope. That's up to you. We didn't want to mess with your menu.
Assuming that you enabled this feature by entering your GA User ID on the Settings page, the plugin will send some basic information to your GA account: page name/URL, geolocation, an anonymous IP address (last octet is blanked), a unique client ID value (to identify all the pages that person visits), and the referring page. This should be all the info for basic analytics. And the data will be sent for all visitors, including those with ad blockers.
