Topic: New EU Law on Cookies

Vlad, there is a new law on cookies coming into effect this year. See http://www.cookielaw.org/ for details. My understanding is that when a user first visits your site (assuming your site is UK or Europe based), they need to give their permission for the site to store cookies.

I am sure a quick fix for this would be a cookie.tpl file that we could all download from VLD and then add <!-- INCLUDE cookie.tpl --> into header.tpl?

What do  you think?

Does vldpersonals uses cookies for visitors?

About members you can solve just adding something into your Terms Of Service page.

About legality, I would ask again to Vlad to create two different default pages about Privacy and TOS and to include acceptance checkboxes for both in registration module. This system helps webmasters that are in some Countries with special laws about privacy and terms of use. Note that the majority of dating sites follow this way, so you could do the same and make it default and avoid webmasters have to modify/customize vldpersonals.

Re: New EU Law on Cookies

I would assume this law requires you to comply if you store any kind of personal information in the cookies. vldPersonals does *not* store anything like that until your users login. So you can basically add it to your terms of service page which users must accept during registration.
