To be honest, I am not sure if it is ideal to implement this as nobody else seems to be interested in this at this point of time.

Hi Mark,

thanks for your open answer!
However, I’m wondering how all the other (at least Europe customers) cope with GDPR-issue? According to the law, webmaster have to ask comment-submitters explicitly to accept the privacy policy. The feature I request is exactly the same one, you have already integrated – the GDPR request while subscribing to the blog. There is a html-capable link/linking to a joomla article. For me it would be fine, to add a similar request while submitting a comment. Then I don’t need to work around with the “terms and conditions” link.

Thanks Marcel

Not really sure if I understand you here Marcel. There is already a T&C for the comments, isn't that sufficient for GDPR?

Hi Mark,

T&C policy is not necessarily the same like privacy policy. Many sites have both (for example see amazon.com). The problem with privacy policy is that the corresponding article normally is very long and structured in several paragraphs. So the workaround right now (with T&C request) is that I copied the plain text into the T&C text box in backend. In this case the user just sees a very long text without any structure. In my eyes the best solution would be to add in comments setting a GDPR checkbox in the backend, where I can link to a certain (Joomla) article. The advantage is that I just have to update one source (joomla article) and all other GDPR related links are up to date. The second-best solution would be the same like in subscriber settings, where such a GDPR setting (incl. a html-capable box) is already available.

Hope I could make it a bit clearer

Thanx for your efforts
Marcel

Hey Marcel,

Correct me if I did not understand this correctly. Are you wanting to be able to:

1. In the settings, able to link to an article from Joomla for the comment's t&c

2. In the comment form, the t&c is just a link that renders a Joomla article in the popup?

Does this solve the GDPR issues that you are facing?

Hi Mark,

Exactly! And the user must not proceed until checking the box.

Thanks
Marcel
