the ECJ (European Court of Justice) In its decision of 01. October 2019 brought unrest to the website operators World: Contrary to previous assumptions, that only with the ePrivacy rules “2000-Sometime” the need for explicit consent will come by the visitor to store cookies, this is now starting at 01.10. Duty.
Visitors to the website so do not need more tersely with a “Our website uses cookies”-Info be annoyed, he wegklickt, to surf undisturbed on the side. In this case, the cookies were in fact 99,9% of cases already stored on the computer. since the 01. October are now only only necessary cookies without consent will be saved and all the other needs of visitors ACTIVE grant its approval BEFORE it is stored on his device.
This provision shall not have any fire on the technical side, the request cookies, when permission was given and not before. cumbersome for the user to continue, then reduces. must click once before he can do what he has come to the page.
On the other hand, it is for the administrator / Website operators cumbersome, since he is no longer a general extension / can use function, generally informed about cookies, but specifically the cookies used must call / should.
We have now created an extension for Magento, supports here. The X-cookie extension for Magento allows the administrator comfortably scan the homepage of the concrete used cookies, for subsequent categorize, edit and describe. The user they are shown in detail in the front end then if interested. So the user can decide which cookies they agree.
The extension is currently on Magento 1 in the final testing phase and is currently Magento 2 developed. (to be at all times informed about news, are either on Facebook Commercers fan but the browser push messages activate).
This is an important and necessary extension, am excited, thanks for the info!
