Hi, just a quick question, in another cookie solution that fully complies with the GDPR/DSGVO I saw an integration for Instagram cookies. I don’t know how the Enfold Instagram widget works, should that be included in the Enfold cookie options as well? Sorry, I really don’t know, just wondered and couldn’t find anything on this here in the forum.
Curious to know what you say on this.
Cheers.
Hey L+T,
Thank you for the inquiry.
The theme’s Instagram widget doesn’t really generate any cookies because the images are directly scraped from the Instagram server, so it doesn’t have to be included in the privacy options. Unfortunately, Instagram is now discouraging this method in favor of their new API, which requires a proper form of authentication that will probably generate cookies.
You can find the deprecation notice in the following link.

We don’t really know yet whether this new API will be added in the theme or not, so for now you have to use a plugin.
