Last week, when the new EU privacy law went live, this little note began appearing on my Blogger Dashboard:
European Union laws require you to give European Union visitors information about cookies used and data collected on your blog. In many cases, these laws also require you to obtain consent.
As a courtesy, we have added a notice on your blog to explain Google's use of certain Blogger and Google cookies, including use of Google Analytics and AdSense cookies, and other data collected by Google.
You are responsible for confirming this notice actually works for your blog, and that it displays. If you employ other cookies, for example by adding third party features, this notice may not work for you. If you include functionality from other providers there may be extra information collected from your users.
So, I'm responsible for making sure the notice works on my blog, but I can't see it myself. Can someone from the EU check to see if that notice is appearing?
Oh, and it seems that Blogger is no longer supporting OpenID, likely due to the requirements surrounding the EU privacy act. I don't think anybody used it here, but if you did and wondered what happened, now you know.

It's showing fine. :) (I've had to click these off all over the place lately, good times.) For your reference, it says: "This site uses cookies from Google to deliver its services and to analyse traffic. Your IP address and user agent are shared with Google, together with performance and security metrics, to ensure quality of service, generate usage statistics and to detect and address abuse." And the options are "Learn more" or confirming with "OK".
ReplyDeleteGood to know what it actually says. Thanks, Shintar!
