If cookies and data are stored by visitors to your blog or website, you must make this clear with a note. Because the latest EU regulation stipulates that the user must first consent to this. We give you a simple code that you only have to insert into the page.
Insert cookie notice on website (EU regulation)
Cookies and data are stored more often than the website visitor suspects: If a website uses Google AdWords or has a Facebook plug-in or something similar, a reference to saved cookies is mandatory. To do this, you need to insert the following code in the HTML source code:
- window.cookieconsent_options = {"message": "This website uses cookies to make your browsing experience easier.", "dismiss": "Please confirm!", "learnMore": "More information", "link": null, "theme", "dark-top"};
Notes on the cookie code
The code above is provided by Silktide. If it no longer works, you can generate a new code on the website. Please note:
- If you provide information on cookies and data protection on your page, insert the link to this page with quotation marks in the previous placeholder "link". This is in the third indent of the code.
- You can change the text after "message" and after "dismiss" as you like. "Dismiss" identifies the button to confirm and remove the cookie notice.
Data protection declaration supplement according to EU regulation
Please note that according to DSVGO the website visitor can also reject the cookie messages and still be able to continue surfing on your site. In this case, you may not collect any data.
- In addition to the cookie notice, you must also insert a full privacy policy. Here, the website visitor can read exactly what data he is storing.
- What sounds like a lot of work for the website operator can be implemented very easily: You can easily generate data protection declarations, for example on the website of Datenscherschutzxperte.de. There you choose which services you use and receive a ready data protection declaration, for example for the imprint.
