Cookie consent
This has been deprecated as it no longer meets compliance requirements. While it will remain available in existing projects where it has already been installed, it is no longer supported or available for new projects.
To ensure compliance with the latest regulations, we recommend using a third-party cookie consent solution such as Iubenda or Osano. These services provide customizable, compliant cookie banners that can be integrated into Vev by adding a custom script.
For guidance on how to integrate third-party solutions, follow our documentation:
This approach gives you full control over your implementation, ensuring flexibility and ongoing compliance with evolving legal requirements.
Best Practices
Think carefully about your cookie usage
It's important to ensure that your use of cookies is compliant with GDPR and other privacy laws. Auto-enabling all cookies without a user's consent may not meet these regulations, particularly for users within the European Union and other areas observing GDPR.
Personalize your consent form
With Vev, you have the opportunity to create a unique cookie consent form. Certain hosting integrations even allow for the addition of custom code to your site's header or body. This gives you the ability to explain your use of cookies and the consent options available.
Use simple language
Be sure to use plain and straightforward language when creating consent forms. Make it easy for users to understand what cookies are and why you use them on your website.
Provide choices
A good consent form should give users the ability to accept or reject different types of cookies. In other words, users should be able to review and change these settings at any point.
Include a link to your privacy policy
Your consent form should always provide a link to your privacy policy. This policy should detail how you handle and safeguard data collected via cookies.
Adjust default settings
Only the most essential cookies should be enabled as a default setting. Any additional cookies should only be activated once the user has explicitly consented to their use.
Stay up-to-date
Regularly review and adjust your cookie consent form to align with the latest privacy laws and regulations.
Keep a record
It's important to maintain records of user consent. This can ensure transparency and could prove vital during audits or when evidence of consent is required.
Prioritize accessibility
Make your consent form easy to read and navigate, regardless of the user's device or use of assistive technologies.
Ensuring users have control over their privacy isn't merely a legal obligation, it's a matter of fostering a more thoughtful, inclusive, and user-friendly environment.
