The further development of the Protect-Privacy Extension by Michael Richey (RicheyWeb) has been stopped.
We have completely reprogrammed the extension. Please deactivate the old Protect-Privacy extension before using this one.
Logical-Arts Privacy
The EU e-Privacy Directive, also known as the "Cookie Law", is a privacy regulation introduced by the European Union in 2011. The purpose of the directive is to protect the privacy of individuals who use the internet by requiring website owners to inform their users about the use of cookies and other tracking technologies on their sites.
Under the e-Privacy Directive, website owners must obtain explicit consent from users before storing or accessing any information on their device. This includes cookies, which are small files that are stored on a user's computer or mobile device when they visit a website. The directive applies to all websites that are based in the EU or target EU users.
The extension consists of a plugin and a component. The plugin generates a consent choice box, if the user visits the site for the first time. The user can accept / deny all cookies or continue with a more specific settings dialog.
The dialog shows also a short cookie policy as well as the recorded consents made in previous selections.
The component part offers a table with all visitor consents.The providers used by the website and their cookies can also be defined here.
Mode of operation
The extensions blocks and deletes cookies depending on the user consent at the server as well as on the client side. In detail, the extension deletes consent incompatible cookies while the page is rendered and uses javascript to prevent scripts to set cookies not allowed for the choosen context. This does not block the scripts but the cookies could not be stored from the clients browser.
As long as the user has not given any consent or deny, the ´Protect Privacy Choice Box will be shown. After a choice an icon at the bottom left pops up, allowing the user to reconsider his choice.
