Privacy and cookies

Turn on the cookie consent banner for your public site and choose its layout, position, lifetime and dark mode.

MagicPost can show a cookie consent banner to visitors of your public site. You configure it under Platform, Backend Settings, GDPR Settings. The page is titled GDPR Settings: control your GDPR compliance settings.

What visitors see

The first banner is titled We use cookies. Visitors can choose Accept all, Reject all or Manage preferences. The preferences window, Consent Preferences Center, groups cookies into four categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies, always on.
• Functionality Cookies.
• Analytics Cookies.
• Advertisement Cookies.

Visitors tick the categories they allow and click Save preferences. The banner works in opt-in mode, so the optional categories stay off until the visitor accepts them. The choice is stored in a cookie named cc_cookie for the number of days you set. The banner text is translated with the rest of the interface, see Languages and translations.

The banner uses a script and a stylesheet that are loaded from the jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net). A visitor whose network blocks that host will not see the banner.

The banner records the visitor’s choice, but the Google Analytics tag from Global settings loads whatever the visitor chose. Check your own legal requirements before relying on the banner alone.
