Online privacy is important to everyone these days. Whether you are in the EU and obligated to protect site visitors' privacy by the GDRP (read more about it here) or in any other place and want to protect yourself and be transparent with your customers.
With the new Privacy Settings options, you can integrate key privacy elements into any website from a single convenient location.
This new dedicated page, along with other privacy-related features (detailed below), enable you to provide your customers with websites that meet privacy standards. This is super important for building sites that your customers have confidence in, and their site visitors trust.
Privacy Policy Page
A privacy page is a document that tells site visitors what type of information a website collects, how this information is collected, and how the information is kept private.
On the Privacy Settings page, there is a suggested privacy policy template that can be activated and customized with specific information regarding the site. Information that needs to be customized includes company name, linkable address, types of information collected, and more.
This template gives you the base for building a site’s unique privacy page. Make sure to customize and review it thoroughly before publishing the site.
Cookie Notifications
Cookies are the data that are stored on a user’s computer and enable websites to provide visitors with a better experience. To be more transparent with your site visitors, and to protect both yourself and your visitors, it’s important to inform them when using cookies via the cookie notification.
After you activate the cookie notification in your site, you’ll see default, customizable text. We suggest linking the text to your privacy policy, so that interested site visitors can learn how information collected by cookies is used by the website.
