Hi,
With all the updates to Enfold and the new Privacy Acts and GDPR in place. I have a question for you.
Is there a way or do you have a solution to turn off the cookie consent and GA tracking opt-in for everyone in the US but still have the bar and opt-in tracking for people viewing the site out side of the US.
This is really only for people outside of the US and some of our clients are asking to have everything turned on and running how it should be when you are view the website from outside the US but if you are inside the US you will not need to opt-in to cookies and tracking?
Get what im saying?
Thanks
-Dan
Hey acscreativenew,
From a technical point of view this would be possible by using a service like https://ipstack.com/ to locate and identify website visitors by IP address. However Enfold does not support such a feature out of the box and you would need to overwrite major parts of our code (i.e. with a child theme or plugin) to implement the ip location service. I’d recommend to search for a third party wordpress plugin or to hire a developer for this task.
Best regards,
Dude
Just please do not make the mistake of making the validity of the law dependent on the place of access to your site. You are obliged to protect the data of citizens from other countries too. The place of jurisdiction depends on your side. In addition, all those who have business relations with the EU area and its citizens must adhere to it.
And more important – the most cookie consent plugins do not hamper the tracking before opt-in.
I got Borlabs Cookie – and i think it is one of a few that do exactly this. The whole site is blocked without defined pages like Privacy Policy and Imprint.
