SimDif introduces a significant upgrade to its Cookie Banner feature, enhancing website compliance with European Union GDPR regulations and bolstering visitor data privacy.
In a move to enhance data privacy and adhere to the European Union's GDPR standards, SimDif has revamped its Cookie Banner feature. This upgrade allows visitors to SimDif websites to have greater control over their cookie preferences, including the ability to choose which cookies to allow or block, such as Google Analytics and other services.
Understanding the importance of user consent in the digital age, SimDif has made this feature user-friendly and easily accessible. Website owners can activate the improved Cookie Banner through the app under Site Settings > Cookie Banner (GDPR). Once enabled and the site republished, visitors will be greeted with a clear and intuitive banner offering options to "Accept All" cookies or select their preferences. Additionally, a "Cookie Settings" link is now available in the website footer, permitting users to modify their choices at any time.
Addressing specific concerns in the EU, particularly in Germany, regarding Google Fonts, SimDif has also introduced a consent-based option. Website owners can now set their sites to load Google Fonts only after visitor consent. This feature is accessible under Site Settings > Cookie Banner, ensuring that websites respect visitor preferences and legal requirements regarding font loading.

"Our enhanced Cookie Banner is a reflection of our commitment to providing tools that give greater control to website owners, and also protect the privacy of their visitors."
