GDPR - Extension needed

The GDPR terms in EU is a big "kick ass" for any web developer.
I think is a bad idea as indicated by the laws that must be implemented by each web page .

In my case, have implemented a "Fake GDPR" in any website I working. For me a simple GDPR (not 100% legal) is ok!

Forgive me for being so direct here, but this is a really bad decision in my view. As a security and privacy expert, if you claim to have a framework in place, yet actually have nothing, then you are asking for trouble.

Even if you think it's a bad idea, it's the law.

[deleted] Hi phenomlab!
No problem for so direct. It´s your opinion. Everything's fine.
More than 90% websites in EU not comply with the GDPR Cookies law at 100% point by point.

I think it is very poorly implemented. It would be much easier if as a user you could manage everything from the browser and not going page by page accepting or refuse all cookies.

Fully agree. I know there is a GDPR extension in the works that (possibly) factors this functionality in.

Some folks are working hard on it

the real things is that is impossible for my extension to stop (for example) all the adsense code if someone choose "no" to ads...because anyone use a different methods to display adsense....

the only things that i've made for now is to manage analytics code (but this means that all user must use my extension to add analytics code)....

i will probably release this extension (better than nothing) or at least i will use my extension for my site only.

Justoverclock I think you can make something like that you did in Keywords extension Like at place of word take input as name for example Ramesh Script and in definition input you can take script or html used and now use the input Justoverclock here at the place of Google analytics and if the user unselect ramesh script then stop loading Ramesh Script and I have something great to share that only load script or css when user select anything you can use if condition here see the demo code below:

  if (r == true) {
          // Get HTML head element
        var head = document.getElementsByTagName('HEAD')[0]; 
        var script = document.createElement('script');
        script.src = 'RameshDadaPremiumScriptUrlForFREE'; 
        head.appendChild(script); 
}

You may not have to worry about it. Google adsense now has a feature that you can enable that asks users if they want to be tracked.

It's an experimental features you have to opt into as a web admin. I am trying it out now, you may or may not see the prompt on my website. It's shown up a handful of times for me....a step in the right direction.

1Dot i have this already.

but i can't stop other services used by other extension, for example if u use malago/flarum-ads, or if u use another extension to load analytics.

Justoverclock OK I promise I will remove all the other extensions once you will release this 😆 as I really want this

Justoverclock

1Dot the only things i can to is to remove all analytics and adsense on condition script from <head>, i will probably try to find a better solution in these days

Here's another privacy focused (but not free) alternative: https://usefathom.com/

Justoverclock remember that removing things from head won't remove data that has already been transferred.

MikeJones Tracking should be configurable at the browser level. I personally would never rely on nor trust Google to do anything related to privacy.

Your extension looks great ! In my case, I don't use any analytics because of GDPR, the only thing I use is Pusher, because it's more comfortable with it. But I'm not sure to keep it because I don't have anything to let the user disalllow it. If you find a way to add Pusher to your plugin, I will definitly adopt it !

You can still use them, but instead of Google Analytics, you should use Matomo who actually respect privacy.

Justoverclock

sylv38 pusher is part of Flarum, so can be included into the necessary cookies? [deleted]

[deleted]

luceos Thanks. Worth taking a further look.

[deleted]

Justoverclock Not really. It's not essential for Flarum to operate.

Justoverclock

I hope there’s a method to disable pusher with JavaScript. I will look into this also

For those interested here is what I was describing with adsense earlier:
