All data stays in your WordPress database; the plugin makes no calls to external services. What it stores: * **Booking data** you collect through the form (names, email addresses and any fields you configure), for as long as you keep the bookings. * **Consent log:** when a visitor submits a booking, the plugin records which consent checkboxes were accepted together with a timestamp, the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent, as proof of consent. The optional data retention settings anonymise the IP address after the configured period. * **Audit log:** administrative changes to bookings and attendees are recorded with the acting user, IP address and user agent, so changes remain traceable. * **Rate limiting:** public booking submissions are counted per client IP using a short-lived, hashed counter (a transient). No raw IP is persisted for this purpose and no cookie is involved. * **Security cookie:** see the FAQ above for the `sinnvoll_bf_cid` cookie. The plugin integrates with WordPress’ personal-data export and erasure tools (Tools Export/Erase Personal Data) and registers suggested wording in the Privacy Policy editor (Settings Privacy). Reviewing and publishing your site’s privacy notice remains your responsibility. ## Screenshots [⌊The booking widget your visitors see — dates, price, remaining places and the booking form.⌉⌊The booking widget your visitors see — dates, price, remaining places and the booking form.⌉[ The booking widget your visitors see — dates, price, remaining places and the booking form.

Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/sinnvoll-booking-flow`, or install through the WordPress Plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress. 3. Go to **sinnvoll Booking Flow** in the admin menu to create your first event. 4. Add a booking widget to any page with `[sinnvoll_bf_widget id="EVENT_ID"]` (the event ID is shown on the event list). 5. Configure confirmation emails, sender details and texts under **sinnvoll Booking Flow Settings**. ## FAQ ### How do I show a booking form on a page? Create an event in the admin, note its ID, then place `[sinnvoll_bf_widget id="EVENT_ID"]` on any page or post. ### Can visitors register more than one attendee? Yes. A single booking can contain multiple attendees, each with their own name and email. ### Does it send confirmation emails? Yes. Confirmation emails are sent automatically and are fully configurable, including placeholders and multiple languages. ### Does it help with GDPR? The plugin provides tools that support GDPR workflows: it integrates with WordPress’ personal-data export and erasure tools and offers optional automatic anonymisation of old records. It does not make your site compliant on its own — compliance always depends on how you configure and operate your site, your legal texts, and your own processes. ### Does the plugin set any cookies? It sets one cookie, `sinnvoll_bf_cid`, only when a booking widget or revocation form that needs a security token is rendered for a logged-out visitor. It stores a random pseudonymous identifier — it contains no booking data and is not used for tracking — and serves solely to tie the form’s security nonce to the visitor’s browser, hardening the public booking form against cross-site request forgery and automated abuse. It is designed to function as a strictly necessary security cookie, but this plugin cannot make legal determinations for your site — you are responsible for assessing your local consent and disclosure requirements and listing the cookie in your cookie/privacy notice. The plugin registers suggested text in WordPress’ Privacy Policy editor (Settings Privacy) to help with this. ### In which format can I export bookings? Bookings and attendees can be exported as CSV, which opens in any spreadsheet application. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “sinnvoll Booking Flow” is open source software.

The booking form language is stored with each booking; confirmation and cancellation emails use it, falling back to the event language and then the site language. Events gained a Language setting (default: site language), and the widget renders in the event’s language when the shortcode has no lang attribute. Admin notifications intentionally stay in the site language. #### 1.11.5 * Initial release on the WordPress plugin directory. ## Meta * Version **1.11.7** * Last updated **17 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.5 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.4** * PHP version ** 8.1 or higher ** * Tags * [attendees](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/attendees/)[booking](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/booking/) [events](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/events/)[registration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/registration/) [RSVP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/rsvp/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sinnvoll-booking-flow/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
