Where can I find out more about the GDPR cookies in commercial themes?

[shawngiese]

Hi, I bought EasyBlog and it mentioned support for GDPR cookies. Where can I find out more about this? Maybe any information too about maintaining privacy for users?

...time passes...

I think this is the one for the Cookies .
This is the one about Google Analytics.
And this nice blog entry.
Anything else I am missing? Basically looking to self-educate on the topic and use the included tools in the best way possible.

Our themes, including premium ones, are GDPR-friendly. They do not use third-party cookies or tracking mechanisms; all assets are served locally, and no first-party cookies are set. The only data stored in the browser is saved through local storage and used solely to retain user preferences, such as dismissing pop-ups or cookie banners (generated by Publii CMS).

However, if your website intends to use third-party cookies (e.g., from analytics services, social media widgets) or employs custom scripts or plugins that introduce them, a cookie banner mechanism is mandatory. This banner must obtain explicit user consent before loading any third-party scripts. Publii CMS offers a solution for this. You can either integrate it easily, even with your own custom scripts, or enable the built-in option available in plugins.
