Hi, I have activated re-captcha v2 and it seems to helps.

I am using 3rd option. ( user must opt-in, only nec. cookies are selected)
Wenn moving to the form – no Google cookie.
If captcha clicked, Google sets a cookie like:
NID:”204=u60MzEG2q5mw1cy5g9TqGpD0Asq-cnlG6NAkF2BZVN2AJDCNtG_TZBKTJz3a_ubEJRQQsksBikka4anskFZCEtRrNeEanbQ3K1GW1-ua6vffWMw3U4I4AMuWA0a09RTHolkyP-dQigw9HWD7iE1kHG2ZkVXv5VjRpAEBQrJiB7M”
with a long time-out
“Läuft ab / Höchstalter:”Wed, 05 May 2021 07:27:57 GMT””
To be compliant, at least I would need to have a googel consent button. But as GDPR requires deactivation per default, this would mean that per default (What I suppose most people would choose) then the contact forms would not work….
Not a nice solution.

I kindly ask to check why the Math-captcha allows seemingly injection ( as the checkbox for agreement in this case is not checked and nevertheless the form is sent), and implement a honeybot.

Hi,
Same with me. Version 4.7 does not sovle the lost icons issue.
Clear cash does not help.
Only CSS hotfix helps for all icons except whatsapp, it does not work with a similar fix as published that I tried.

Do not know If I correctly understand:
You need cookies for spam prevention?
Should not be an issue, data prot. act does NOT forbid ALL cookies from the beginning, just tracking and those stuff. I guess anything that you need for this task is a pure functional cookie, so can be even inside the session, so would be fine!

What is needed, is explicit consent for all tracking stuff. This means that all the re-Captcha from our friend Goo…, where tracking ones are there from the beginning, is in my view no longer a good option.

My point is that in this case(e.g when you still want to use it) on the contact-form we would need a better possibility to explicit opt in, otherwise the form is useless.

In the meantime, I changed the URL for the contact form – and it helps. At least till now it seems there is no spam anymore.
(Nevertheless the vulnerability(bug) remains that someone can send the form without checking the checkbox!! )

Hi Ismael,

Thanks, yes this I know. Then it will work – but that’s not allowed acc. data protection act.
Think for europe ony your new option, explicit consent for tracking cookies, is needed.
And I would say re-Captcha sets tracking cookies.

Think the only useful and (hopefully;-)) compliant way is that if re-captcha is built in but not yet accepted by the visitor, that the visitor gets a note ( this is implemented) and a possibility to accept re-captcha immediately to send the form,

See also https://complianz.io/google-recaptcha-and-the-gdpr-a-possible-conflict/
where also a honeypot solution is mentioned. Maybe this would this be a nice add- on to enfolds math-captcha – I would like it, as I dont want to force the users to get tracked…
-> is this possible to test? Have seen a code here: https://gist.github.com/andrewlimaza/958826feac907114a57462bfc8d535ff – but dont know how to put into Enfold…

The technical issue I observed ism that if I put the switch [av_privacy_google_recaptcha] in, even if in the form the re-captcha is NOT used, the form is blocked. (while the enfold math-captcha is shown but the send button is not).

PS: I have now again removed again the re-captcha switch completely from the consent tabs and expect again some spam…

Finally I have now tried also reCaptcha v2: ( I did not like as I wanted to avoid have Google in…)

And there was no Spam – but the reason why was with a big grain of salt – but could have foreseen:
As I have not activated re-Chaptcha in the Cookie settings, and probably nobody will do if its not pre-selected (what I understand is forbidden as Mr Google probably uses tracking cookies…) the Theme does what it promised to do:
– it blocks re-Captcha and with it the complete the Contact form ! (which is fine, otherwise Spam door is open!)
-> so nobody can post a message without activating the cookies for recaptcha.
And I think nobody will do as there is just a message “you deactivated…” so guess nobody will know to klick on the small lock on the rhs and click through the tabs to find the right settin…

=> I think the only possible way is here to have a possibility to activate re-captcha inside the contact form, in order that the user can proceed. But think even that is prohibitive for many users….

What is planned here for the future, Do you think its compliant to activated re-Chaptcha per default? If so – how to do this in the cookie form?

Update ad “After accepting, user cannot see the maps, has to do manual reloads.”

have installed new version 4.6.3.1, -> this is solved here, now there is a setting to force a relaoad (even with a window indicating this) when user accepts cookies.

Rest of comments remain as far as I can see.

Hi,

I ve done this setting. (Version 4.6.2 ).

However:

I think I need a solution where visitors can also immediately opt in also for videos and other 3rd party cookies.
E.g. best would be several checkboxes that user can see in parallel. ( See. e.g. Cookiebot)

Otherwise I see issues in offering e.g. OpenStreetMap maps and other 3rd party services.
Because if they would simply click “OK” with this – as per law – now all other cookies that are not “necessary” or for tracking (And this will be the case for 3rd parties) have to be disabled.

So I need to dissable all 3rd party cookies if no consent, and consent must be really done – so must be on first page and I need to explain that they should check the box….

Further: now the Video (youtube etc) is disabled per default, if user clicks ok.
Nevertheless, if there is on some youtube video in a post included via iframe, this is not blocked, cookies are set.

So all the solution in Enfold seem not to work for iframes.

My current draft solution for one case:
I disabled a map view on the start page, by writing javascript, but this has disadvantage that re-load of site is needed, that is not done currently => After accepting, user cannot see the maps, has to do manual reloads.

So basically, I see currently only one option to put manually into each iframe something like this.

<script>
function findCookie(name) {
// Split cookie string and get all individual name=value pairs in an array
var cookieArr = document.cookie.split(“;”);

// Loop through the array elements
for(var i = 0; i < cookieArr.length; i++) {
var cookiePair = cookieArr[i].split(“=”);
/* Removing whitespace at the beginning of the cookie name
and compare it with the given string */
if(name == cookiePair[0].trim()) {
// Decode the cookie value and return
return decodeURIComponent(cookiePair[1]);
}
}

// Return null if not found
return null;
}

if(findCookie(‘aviaCookieConsent’))
{
// aviaCookieConset found, so basically cookies accepted
document.write(“<iframe id=\”OSmap\” width=\”425\” height=\”350\” frameborder=\”0\” scrolling=\”no\” marginheight=\”0\” marginwidth=\”0\” src=\”https://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?bbox=16.256686449050907%2C48.16136234017727%2C16.26558065414429%2C48.16589936655981&layer=mapnik\” style=\”border: 1px solid black\”></iframe><br/><small>Größere Karte anzeigen</small>”);
}else
{
// either first time on page or cookies not accepted
document.write(” <br><br><br>Accept Cookies to show our location in OpenStreetMap <br> and reload the page !”)
}
</script>

Hi,
Have the same issue – have some possibilites added in Social Media Profile, but different ones appear selectable in Theme Option -> Blog Layout . Actually more appear here than given in the Social Media Profile. But adding facebook in Socia Media Profile does not help!
