Website Cookies Usage

I need to confirm that whether my following website uses any cookies? It is developed in Wordpress. I need to update the privacy policy according to the new laws.

Open in new window

Please check it for both Logged-in(admin, editors etc) and normal users.

Waiting for some expert opinion.

Thanks

I would suggest that pretty much every website uses Cookies in one form or another, and if you have a capacity for a user to login, then it definitely will. WordPress sites certainly use Cookies, so update your Privacy Policy on the assumption that your site uses Cookies!

Hey Shano,

What else is it you need to know?

You said you needed to confirm whether your website was using Cookies. I confirmed it probably is.

The easiest way to find out for sure is to open up the WebDev Console (press F12) in your browser and then visit your page. You should see any cookie information for your site listed (in Firefox, it's under the Storage tab).

You site runs WordPress, so...

1) Update WordPress to latest version.

2) Go through recent GDPR WordPress core updates.

3) Use default WordPress GDPR approach which best matches your site.

This question needs an answer!
