Hi,
In post https://kriesi.at/support/topic/facebook-pixel-tracking-code/#post-1003002 you gave a nice solution to add the Facebook Pixel Code to the <head> of a website. Thanks for that!
As far as I understand the Facebook Pixel Code does not conform to the GDPR. Do you agree?
Is it perhaps possible to incorporate this in the cookie settings of theme options so that visitors who don’t want it can switch it off?
Thanks for your advise!
Best regards,
MoniqueHey Monique,
As far as I understand the Facebook Pixel Code does not conform to the GDPR. Do you agree?
We can’t give you a legal advice. Please consult a lawyer if you’re not sure.
Enfold doesn’t support the facebook pixel at the moment. However you can use a third party plugin like: https://wordpress.org/plugins/opt-out-facebook-pixel-dsgvo-gdpr/ to implement such a feature.
Best regards,
DudeHi Dude,
Thanks for your reply.
No of course, you’re not legal advisors :-)
If I can prevent to use too many plugins I will do that. I will discuss with my client what she wants.
Are there any plans in future to incorporate Facebook Pixel Code into your cookie settings? I assume this is a worldwide very much used “thing” like Google Maps and Google Fonts…
Regards,
MoniqueHi,
Maybe we’ll include a setting in the future but we don’t have any precise plans yet. Personally I’m a fan of outsourcing such features to plugins because more and more services will pop up in the future and it’s hard to maintain all of them. Maybe we’ll write a plugin which will extend Enfold’s built-in cookie features or we’ll make sure certain cookie plugins (i.e. Borlabs Cookie ) are fully supported by Enfold. Borlabs Cookie for example already works with Enfold, the only open issue concerns google maps (Borlabs can’t control the maps which are embedded by Enfold yet).
Best regards,
DudeHi Dude,
Thanks for your reply.
I really appreciate the Enfold settings for cookies :-) And the fact that a visitor has the option to choose themselves which cookies they want to accept or not.
I looked at Borlabs Cookies. I can see several options for the visitor to choose which cookies they accept or not:
- Allow all cookies
- Allow advertising cookies
- Only allow necessary cookies
- Only allow first-part cookies
- Do not allow any cookies
I believe that visitors don’t realize the impact of terms like ‘advertising cookies’ or ‘first-part’ cookies. These (technical) terms are too ‘blurry’ for them. I assume there is a lot that can be customized, but I am not sure if it will be user-friendly enough.
Apart from that, but that is mainly a practical/idealistic problem: a lot of plugins these days cost money (so does Borlabs) and not everyone has the money available to pay for all these extra’s: 50 euros here, 100 euros there… The EU decides there should be a new law and all companies are forced to invest money to comply with that law. Google offered Google Maps for free. Now they are changing their policy so that you have to pay money to show a map on your site. Honestly, I am waiting for WordPress to ask money to be able to use the source code… I really understand that everybody needs to earn some money, but for some it simply becomes too complicated and expensive…
But that is beyond your control – I understand :-)
For completeness: you may flag this topic as solved.
Have a nice day,
MoniqueHa ha, it is not very useful to you, but still…
And that I like Enfold’s options is a compliment :-)
