Over the last couple of weeks, I have spent a lot of time looking over the various laws surrounding compliance with affiliate disclosures, cookie requirements as well as web accessibility.
As you've probably seen for the last week or so, there is now an affiliate disclosure on every post. Affiliate revenue helps to keep the lights on.
After hours of research, I have selected the service providers to implement these changes. They are not free and do add to the monthly costs of the site.
Canon Rumors is now fully compliant with the following requirements:
- Affiliate Disclosure
- TCF 2.0 / IAB
- GDPR (Europe)
- CCPA (California)
- WCAG 2.1 / ADA
You may notice floating buttons at the bottom left of the site on both desktop and mobile. The lock icon is for TCF 2.0/IAB, GDPR and CCPA compliance.
The wheelchair icon is for “web accessibility”. This offers tools for people that have visual or certain mental health challenges. It's actually a pretty cool addition I think.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me on the forum or via email.
Please revisit the Admiral popup for pro users.
This is currently making it impossible to view the site.
Really not happy after paying for pro!
But those that get the Module and have a mind for privacy should be happy, the various governments have forced websites to give opt out options, the rest of the world doesn’t!
Edit: I do understand Craig tries to comply to all those rules out there. It's no joke! Perhaps you can make the popup a bit more clear?
I did find that if I use my VPN it got rid of the problem, but that VPN uses a European address so I don't know if it is an EU problem.
I was just about to say this, I finally realised it needs to store a cookie to get past this then reject the rest.
Perhaps that one should be called a necessary cookie as on many other cookie option selectors.
Cheers, Graham.
Unfortunately sensible plain wording and button location defeats the purpose of the design in the first place.
I can't block something that is required by the laws of the land. If you don't accept any cookie at all, you will continue to get the popup.
I have edited the frequency of the popup for people that give no input, reject all and partial rejection.
I have also inquired as to why there isn't an easy to see "reject all" button.
