Discussing General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Folks my I noticed I added an extended privacy policy to the forums and part of the motivation is surrounding GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation which comes into effect on May 25, 2018. There's alot more to GDPR compliance, so thought it's about time I started a thread this forum for it and see what other web site owners are doing for GDPR.

Yeah there's a lot more to do General Data Protection Regulation - Wikipedia

 

Nginx.com blog also covered some uses for Nginx nginScript for access logs utilising a 'Data Masking' approach nginScript Use Case: Data Masking for User Privacy. Centmin Mod Nginx server also optionally supports Nginx nginScript module too. Though probably not something a forum needs to do.

How GDPR Will Change The Way You Develop

 

Yeah other countries are follow in GDPR's footsteps so really is matter of when not if we (as web site owners)/I need to comply.

Was just thinking would be fairly easy for me to implement Nginx access log data masking nginScript Use Case: Data Masking for User Privacy out the box for Centmin Mod Nginx installs which Centmin Mod detects the server as having a geo location within Europe or use Nginx geoip location module to do stuff on a per continent basis i.e. EU continent

 

Yeah true, though no one starts a web site/forum with the intention of remaining 'small' forever

hmm What is the GDPR and how will it affect your business - iubenda blog

 

Ah that would be alot easier I guess Slavik GDPR for XenForo 1 ?

self hosted cookie consent popup Cookie Consent by Insites - The most popular solution to the EU cookie law with opt-in demo Demos - Cookie Consent by Insites

opt in demo requires additional call back hook at Disabling cookies - Cookie Consent by Insites not sure if I have my javascript setup correctly though. But looks like the actual logic for disabling and enabling cookies is left up to your to code as per your app ? i.e. Disabled cookies · Issue #205 · insites/cookieconsent

HTML:

onInitialise: function (status) {
  var type = this.options.type;
  var didConsent = this.hasConsented();
  if (type == 'opt-in' && didConsent) {
    // enable cookies
  }
  if (type == 'opt-out' && !didConsent) {
    // disable cookies
  }
},
 
onStatusChange: function(status, chosenBefore) {
  var type = this.options.type;
  var didConsent = this.hasConsented();
  if (type == 'opt-in' && didConsent) {
    // enable cookies

onRevokeChoice: function() {
  var type = this.options.type;
  if (type == 'opt-in') {
    // disable cookies
  }
  if (type == 'opt-out') {
    // enable cookies
  }
}
})
});
