Default Re: Gdpr - upcoming law for European merchants

XC Team

Here is our suggested "Re-Work" of the free XC5 GDPR Module
It's easier, fully complaint (we think ) and is more user friendly / easily configurable than the current module / modules combination that's offered

This is a stand alone module and must NOT be dependent on other modules or third party plug-in items
A chargeable version of this module could offer these interactions c/w greater configurability. That's not within the scope of this 'suggestion' post however


Cookie Pop-Up Warning / Consent Note

1) The cookie pop-up warning / consent note option, must function directly from the on/off choice, made in settings by the XC5 store owner's administrator

2) Assuming that this a single module (see above) then this setting can only be generic i.e. not country specific in the free module version. Country specific options could be offered in the chargeable version if the correct interactions are applied with another module / third party source

3) The cookie pop-up pop-up warning / consent note must be an easily identified XC5 label, which the XC5 store owner's administrator, can edit themselves within XC5 (like other labels)


Account Warning / Consent Note

1) Assuming that this a single module (see above) then this setting can only be generic i.e. not country specific in the free module version. Country specific options could be offered in the chargeable version if the correct interactions are applied with another module / third party source

2) The account warning / consent note wording must be an easily identified XC5 label, which the XC5 store owner's administrator, can edit themselves within XC5 (like other labels)

3) The account warning / consent note MUST be a different warning / consent note than the warning / consent note utilised at checkout. That means TWO different XC5 labels are required. These two areas are not the same (actions carried out within them may not be the same) so the notes must be separate and different than each other, hence the requirement for two tables not one shared label, as is currently provided

4) The delete note / forget me note however (the one that is displayed, once the warning / consent note has been accepted) CAN be the same and can be used for both Account and Checkout areas. The required wording can be generic and easy to apply to both. This must also be an easily identified XC5 label, which the XC5 store owner's administrator, can edit themselves within XC5 (like other labels)


Checkout Warning / Consent Note

1) Assuming that this a single module (see above) then this setting must be country specific by default

2) The single module checkout warning / consent note, can be made country specific site without needing an additional module or IP checks or any other third party plug-ins

3) XC5 customers must choose a country (i.e. a "live" country in XC5 admin terms) as part of their order's delivery address requirements. Obviously this is a mandatory choice and not just an option. All "live" countries are provided within a drop down list in XC5 and customers must choose from this list or they cannot submit an order. This is a customer selected country from a defined list. It is not automatic IP address location query return. The two are different

4) The single module checkout warning / consent note, can be made country specific, by deriving it's display option (Yes or No) directly from the current list of countries, that have been deemed as "Live" and appropriately setup previously, by the XC5 store owner's administrator (see 2 above). In simple terms, When the customer chooses a country for their delivery address, their selection will (or will not - depending on both the country and the XC5 storeowners advance administrative work!) force the display of the checkout warning / consent note BEFORE the order can proceed or not proceed (if for example the customer refuses to tick the box adjacent to the checkout warning / consent note. It's a similar process to the dynamic shipping integration that already exists in XC5

The setting for checkout warning / consent note (Yes or No) can be made via a drop down box / multi selectable XC5 widget, very similar to the one already provided when using the two current, separate XC5 modules, but in that case it's used for country specific cookie pop-up selection only (by IP) in XC5

That's it. It's simple, effective, compliant but easy to customise and use. Queue a long list of XC objections / faults / corrections / additions / reasons why it can't be done But it is what is is. For XC5 storeowners who want even more bells & whistles and/or even more customisation options, then a chargeable module alternative would be the real world option. If you are one of these, then get involved with XC soon and share your ideas / preferences with them

The current XC5 free GDPR module has already been assessed (previous posts). The suggestions in this post are only in relation to a re-worked XC5 free GDPR single module. This post is not about any future additional XC5 chargeable GDPR single module or modules and does not relate to XC4 at all.
