I am interested in seeing and hearing about what solutions admins are currently using, or will be implementing in the near future, to keep compliant with Google AdSense's GDPR consent message requirement that is set to begin enforcement on January 16, 2024. Concerns I currently have: 1) If...

I'm going to be frank, I've always thought this cookie notice rush was a pile of hot water. As far as I have always understood, most breaking of user trust happens when you host third party scripts, advertisements, etc on your site which fingerprint the user and call home (to a third party such...

Greetings. My team's website has been marked as non-GDPR compliant due to cookie usage. I have been searching for ways to fix this issue, and it seems like Xenforo implemented this feature 2 years ago - though I can't seem to find it anywhere at all. I would appreciate it if someone could...

Instead of deleting old inactive members, I want to anonymize inactive accounts. Reason: When you delete a members, the proces is irreversible and all posts are assigned to one guest users. This has some downsides. By anonymizing accounts, you still have all posts assigned to an identity, and...

Hi there I want propose the implementation of the Cookie Banner to be compliant to the GDPR law we have in Europe. Right now the banner have only the possibility to click on "Accept" and this is not accordant with the law we have here about the privacy policy. To be legal here, that banner must...

When you report a bug to xenforo or to a developers site, then you will often need to copy the server error report from the xenforo admin panel to the forum of the developer/xenforo. This report often contains personal information like IP address, email, username. It also contains sensitive...

1. I want to alarm the community, because i got a mail where one guy wanted to receive all his saved data, because now it is his right. And he tried that for simple reason to see if he can sue me, because he literally said in the 2nd mail that he gives me another 48 the response or he will sue...

I know this is as original designed - moderators have always been able to access user email addresses via the spam cleaner, but in a post-GDPR world, I'm not sure this is the best policy anymore. While this is kind of a suggestion, I do feel that this is serious enough to warrant a "bug report"...

I am not entirely sure that this is a bug, or some weird interaction between JS, dialogs, and cookies. One of our users reported this problem: Our Terms & Rules are collated in a sub-forum: https://forums.freebsd.org/forums/forum-rules-and-guidelines-required-reading.49/ - this sub-forum can...

My site is decades old. Members have opted into my newsletter before there was ever an audit trail. Now with the GDPR I am supposed to be able to prove that my members opted in or face potentially millions in fines. But there is no functionality to prove legacy members have ever given consent...

DSGVO=GDPR ;)

If the accept form is visited without a redirect querystring parameter (e.g., /misc/accept-privacy-policy), an infinite redirect loop will occur when the user accepts, resulting in an ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error in Chrome.

In the accept_terms template, the terms_rules_text phrase is missing a contactUrl param: {xen:phrase terms_rules_text}

This is probably the same as https://xenforo.com/community/threads/1-5-20a-upgrade-issue-have-to-accept-privacy-policy-twice.147733/, but I've included steps for reproducing it. The user has to accept the privacy policy/terms once for each time the admins have forced users to accept the privacy...

When I try to register now I get a message then I first have to accept the terms. I do that at the end of the registration, but get a warning. What and where do I have to set up to solve this problem?

Can the above be used in the ACP or XF2.0.6? I have not been able to find it yet.

@Slavik and @Chris D ... curious to hear your thoughts on how photos (and thus the XenForo Media Gallery) are impacted by GDPR laws. My thoughts are that a random photo of someone without any other personally identifiable data is unlikely to cause an issue and it is certainly impractical to get...

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. The GDPR aims primarily to give control back to citizens and residents over...

Hello. Due to GDPR requirements I urgently need to delete all attachments uploaded by guests (Deleted users, with user ID 0). It seems that I can't use the attachment browser to do this. I'm still on XF 1.5 Any ideas? Thanks a lot. // Jill

I have read some of the old threads on the upcoming law concerning GDPR. And some of my developers wants to rush the upgrade from our 1.5.9 to XF 2.0 due to this. A number of the addons we use is still Work in progress when it comes to XF 2.0 support, I would prefer to wait a while and begin...
