hello dear Neowin experts good day, 

 

hopefully this text and this question fits in this forum well - i guess and hope so since it is a question regarding websites and things alike. 

 

the topic: setting up phpBB • Compliance with GDPR : how to do the basic editing of the given text blocks 

 

after setting up a phpBB - which should  have its main target audience in Europe...   it is aimed to run this phpBB for a international community  so the target audience is international and the language english

i wonder how to treat the differend kinds and sorts of texts we have 

 

 

in the phpBB-overview we have the following texts: 

 

a. Privacy Acceptance Policy.-> with the texts regarding the Privacy acceptance: 
b. Privacy Policy -> i guess that we  here  can customise the board’s Privacy Policy. in other words that herein we have the DSGVO  terms... 
c. Terms of Use Policy.->with the texts regarding  erms of Use Policy.

 

 

a. Privacy Acceptance Policy.-> Privacy acceptance:  here we have the pre-filled version,...that looks like so:

b. Privacy Policy -> i guess that we  here  can customise the board’s Privacy Policy. in other words that herein we have the DSGVO  terms...

Enable the Privacy policy: Enable/disable all user’s requirement to accept the GDPR (2018) on this board.

 

Enable the Cookie policy: Enable/disable all user’s requirement to accept the use of cookies, under EU Cookie directive (2012), on this board.

 

Show privacy/cookie policy: Setting this to yes will display the nav bar link to the privacy/cookie policy when the Cookie Policy is disabled, i.e. you can have a privacy/cookie policy without the need to have the acceptance box.

 

Privacy policy options - Block all links: Prevent a user accessing any links on the board until they have accepted the Cookie Policy.

 

Require cookie acceptance: Require the acceptance of board cookies before a member can either register or log-in.

Setting this to “Yes” will still allow a user to view the board (subject to permissions).

 

Force Privacy acceptance: Force all users on this board to accept the GDPR.

 

 

 

wich one should we activate - which one should we switch on:  i have found a text - that might be helpful here a gdpr_documentation see https://www.michendorf.de/attachments/article/928/gdpr_documentation.pdf

 

 

Look forward to hear from you
