More GDPR Features
-
Hello,
First of all, thanks for this great plugin. I have seen that you added some features regarding GDPR. I would like to request a critical one which solves a lot of people’s problem about Analytics codes and GDPR.
We should not allow our websites to set cookies BEFORE our visitors from EEA give specific consent to do so. Now, having an Opt out feature is great but we actually need an Opt in feature here. Because even if we use any consent plugins to block Google Analytics cookies, they are actually unable to do that because GADWP allows Analytics js to create cookies (no offense). I don’t know if it is possible to do this but can you somehow add a feature to disable cookies before giving consent? Because without blocking the cookies beforehand, none of the websites will be compliant to GDPR which hurts them and your plugin with them (us). Maybe it is possible to work with the developers of consent plugins or create one yourself to work with GADWP.
I don’t know if it is appropriate to share links here but I do this with good will. Cookie Metrix (https://www.cookiemetrix.com) has a website for checking cookies. At the moment Analytics and AdSense are giving a lot of trouble to website owners. Because they set cookies right after a visitor visits a website. I would like Google to do something about that too 🙂 But they just pass that responsibility to website owners and your plugin is the only thing in between. I would be more than happy to keep on using this great plugin in the future as a compliant 🙂 Please somehow direct us to the right way since I know not a lot of people are developers. Most of us just like to write to our sites instead of dealing with huge amount of technical issues. We somehow need user friendly plugins that deals things instead of us. It may sound selfish but I don’t know anything about coding. I install a plugin and hope for the best from it. This is why I am writing here. Thanks in advance.
