Knowledgebase

Is my website GDPR, COPPA, CCPA, DSGVO, AVG, CNIL, UK-GDPR, PECR, CASL, LGPD, POPIA and/or PIPEDA compliant with this plugin?

We cannot guarantee compliance for your website. A correct configuration of this plugin by a website administrator is always required.

When do I need a Cookie Notice?

Complianz | GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent will determine this automatically based on the laws of the region or regions, where most of your visitors come from.
Regarding CCPA, you always have to show which cookies you are using but there’s no obligation in asking consent.

Do I always need a consent checkbox on contact forms?

Not always. The Complianz Privacy Suite Premium plugin can determine if you need this, based on your answers in the wizard. It mainly depends on the type of information and the reason why your visitor use the contact form.

What is the GDPR?

The GDPR is a regulation within the EU law on privacy and data protection for any citizen within the EU and European Economic Area. It aims primarily on giving control to individuals over their personal data. The GDPR also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU.

PECR (UK) covers the use of cookies and similar technologies for storing information and accessing information stored, on a user’s equipment such as a computer or mobile device.

What are the Privacy Act 1988 & Australian Privacy Principles

What are PIPEDA & CASL?

Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) require a website operator to obtain consent, either implied or express consent with a dedicated cookie statement.

What POPIA (POPI Act)?

POPIA is the acronym for the South African PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION ACT. Similar to the GDPR, the UK-GDPR, and the Brasilian LGPD, it promotes the protection of personal information processed by public and private bodies,bregulates the cross-border flow of personal information, and outlines the rights of data subjects.

What are “Marco Civil” and the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD)?

The Brazilian General Data Protection Law is similar to the GDPR, the UK-GDPR it promotes the protection of personal information processed by public and private bodies,bregulates the cross-border flow of personal information, and outlines the rights of data subjects. The Marco Civil is the Brazilian name of the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet a counterpart to European’s “ePrivacy”, although not similar.

Can I create a Cookie Wall with this plugin?

With some custom CSS this is possible, but we do not consider a cookie wall to be GDPR compliant, so it’s not actively supported. We do, however, have the option to create a Soft Cookie Wall. Which blocks interaction with the website, but dismissing remains a possibility.

Reviews

October 12, 2021
The big advantage of this plugin over other banners plugins is that it allows you storing user's consents of the cookies banner into the local DB of your wordpress setup (with the premium version). This makes the plugin fully GDPR compliant because this information doesn't even leave your website. Normally, even this consent data is considered as personal data and hence subject to GDPR. Thus by contracting a membership to store this data in an external DB makes it probably not GDPR compliant anymore, but it seems that GDPR plugin makers do not really care about that. However with this info they could sell it again further or do whatever they like and hence this type of personal data handling and cookies could not be defined as strictly necessary cookies, and can probably not be GDPR compliant or would need the consent of the user for that too. Using the free version that doesn't store any consent (allowed in certain cases) or with the premium version and storing consents locally, you make sure that your data is not sold somewhere else and remains fully GDPR compliant. Hence that these banner cookies can fully be defined as strictly necessary, without needing any consent for that, and still remaining fully respectful of data protection regulations around the world.

I use the free version of this plugin for now to comply with GDPR on my website. The integrated wizard is really helpful. Setting-up the plugin was quite easy. There were no conflicts with different themes or plugins. Support is also fast and even helped me with CSS styling according to my needs in just a few hours. I am happy customer 🙂 Thanks a lot 🙏
