Hi,

Thank you for the clarification.

We are able to reproduce the issue with the buttons inside the modal popup window. We’ll forward it to the dev team.

1.) The [av_privacy_allow_cookies] when enabled will ensure that the cookie consent bar is hidden once the user opted in, but it will not allow non-essential cookies such as cookies that can/disable videos and maps. For that, the [av_privacy_accept_essential_cookies] should be enabled.

2.) The [av_privacy_accept_essential_cookies] when enabled will add the “aviaPrivacyEssentialCookiesEnabled” and allow non-essential cookies (maps, videos, recaptcha), but it will not affect the essential cookies “aviaCookieConsent” and “aviaPrivacyRefuseCookiesHideBar” once the user opted in.

You can test this by adding the [av_privacy_allow_cookies], [av_privacy_accept_essential_cookies] and [av_privacy_video_embeds] in a test page. Below the privacy shortcodes, add a video element with a youtube URL.

3.) Just think of “green” as enabled and “gray” as disabled, so when the [av_privacy_allow_cookies] is gray, the cookie consent bar will always popup on reload because the “aviaPrivacyRefuseCookiesHideBar” is not present. If the [av_privacy_video_embeds] is gray or disabled, videos will automatically open in another tab or to an external link. If green, the video is allowed to play directly on the site.

4.) On 4.6.1, the [av_privacy_allow_cookies] and [av_privacy_accept_essential_cookies] cookies are enabled by default because a lot of site owners are not aware of it. This assumes that the user or visitor opted in or allow the use of cookies when they continue to browse the site, accept the cookies or by simply ignoring the consent bar.

There is a very big danger here for all of us. The GDPR clearly states, that the user has to be informed in clear and concise natural language what his privacy options are.

That’s why you have to enable the cookie consent message bar and add the details of the site policy in the privacy policy page. It is up to the users by then if they want to ignore the consent bar or accept the cookies.

As stated on the documentation:

It is up to you as owner of a website to ensure that your website is compliant to the rules of the country your visitors come from. You need to check this with a reliable lawyer.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, for your first post about the /people/ page I see you are getting an error from the popup-maker plugin:

Failed to load plugin url: https://your-site.wpengine.com/wp-content/plugins/popup-maker/assets/js/mce-buttons.min.js?version=1.8.11

Please see the screenshot in Private Content area.
Please try disabling this plugin.
I also see that your submenu is created in a custom plugin with the portfolio, I believe the conflict is that the Enfold sticky script and your custom sticky-kit script are conflicting.
Unfortunately, this is quite a lot of customization to debug and is outside of our scope of support.
For your second question, most mobile devices block background videos from automatically, mostly IOS, but I only have an Android and your background video is playing automatically for me.

Best regards,
Mike

Hey zylphe,

Thank you for using Enfold.

Have you tried adding a custom button linked to another page in your modal popup window? You can then use javascript to add the onclick attribute on page load. You can actually add it directly in the modal popup template, but you’ll have to redo it every update.

Hey Jo,
Perhaps this was due to the new cookie requirements of GDPR, where all cookies are disabled until the user allows, please see our documentation but v4.6.2 has been released with some adjustments so please give it a try.
Many webhost offer a quick staging site option where with a single button click your site is cloned for testing, perhaps this would be a good way to test your Polylang plugin.

Best regards,

Hi,

@grafiko_at_62
Did the v4.6.1 solve your “read more” button in the cookie bar?
The team also updated the privacy cookie documentation

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,

Thanks – this is caused because of missing cookies which are new since 4.6. You probably already accepted cookies in 4.5.7. This is a bug.

I added a fix for this in the next update.

A quick workaround would be to add a button with action “Do not accept and hide message bar” to the message bar, click this button, then open the modal window, check your settings and accept.

To fix it in core:

In file enfold\includes\helper-privacy.php around line 1366:

$cookie_contents = md5( $cookie_contents );

replace with:

$cookie_contents = md5( $cookie_contents ) . '||v1.0';

Around line 228:

			$option = $this->get_cookie_consent_message_bar_option();
			if( in_array( $option, array( 'message_bar', 'disabled' ) ) )
			{
				return;
			}

Below this insert:

			$cookie_accepted = isset( $_COOKIE['aviaCookieConsent'] );
			$cookie_allow_hide_bar = isset( $_COOKIE['aviaPrivacyRefuseCookiesHideBar'] );
			$cookie_essential_enabled = isset( $_COOKIE['aviaPrivacyEssentialCookiesEnabled'] );
			
			/**
			 * Check if we updated 
			 *		'||v1.0' from <= 4.5.7 to 4.6.2
			 */
			if( $cookie_accepted && ! ( $cookie_allow_hide_bar && $cookie_essential_enabled ) )
			{
				/**
				 * If user already accepted cookie we add our essential cookies so user can continue to use site without need to opt in for these explicit
				 */
				$cookie_accepted_value = $_COOKIE['aviaCookieConsent'];
				
				$sep = strrpos( $cookie_accepted_value, '||v' );
				
				if( false === $sep )
				{
					setcookie( 'aviaPrivacyRefuseCookiesHideBar', true, time() + YEAR_IN_SECONDS, '/' );
					setcookie( 'aviaPrivacyEssentialCookiesEnabled', true, time() + YEAR_IN_SECONDS, '/' );
				}
			}

I hope Kriesi will release 4.6.2 soon.

Do not forget to make a backup of the original file for a fallback, clear server and browser cache.

Günter

Hi,

Thank you for the inquiry. And sorry for the delay.

Users have to accept cookies before they can load the video directly in the site. For that, you have to give them access to the [av_privacy_allow_cookies] privacy button. Add it in your privacy page or the modal popup window. To learn more about the new privacy options, please visit the documentation.

// https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/privacy-cookies/#implementation-of-data-security-in-enfold

On version 4.6.1, the [av_privacy_allow_cookies] will be enabled by default if it’s not available.

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

Thank you for the inquiry.

We have updated the documentation regarding the privacy options. You can review it here.

// https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/privacy-cookies/#implementation-of-data-security-in-enfold

Please make sure that the site is running on version 4.6.1. And we also tried to answer your inquiry here:

// https://kriesi.at/support/topic/update-4-6-makes-cookie-consent-reload-every-time/page/3/#post-1136090

It doesn’t, as you can test here: http://enfold.muster.website/ (Open modal and klick on “Ich will hier weg!”)

The modal popup window button as the name suggests, opens a modal window containing info about the privacy option including the privacy shortcodes. It will not link to another page. If you want to create a link to your privacy page, create a new button in the privacy & cookies options panel and set the “Button Action” to the 4th option (Link to another page).

Best regards,
Ismael

Hey Max,
Sorry for the late reply, with Enfold you can write articles and publish as the portfolio type, and as long as you do this with the Advanced Layout Builder that is built-in to Enfold, you can add comments and social share buttons.

To display these as a blog you can use the “blog” element and choose portfolios to show.

Your next two questions (3 & 4) refer to “blog posts” & “portfolio” posts, but if you simply substue the portfolio posts for the bolg posts, as above, then the answer is yes.
You can adjust the colors easily. We don’t have a built-in carousel, like in your example, but we do have an Accordion Slider that is similar and can be full height and auto-rotate.
I hope this helped, and we hope you choose Enfold
PS: Today we are having a birthday sale.

Best regards,
Mike
