If I use the "Keep Me Logged IN" option, does that change the life of the cookies? Are the cookies deleted when I log out or are they kept valid for the length set in the admin section? How long should we keep cookies valid? I've read from 30 days to 2 years. The argument against long times is that if a member returns a year later, is the data the cookie holds still going to be relevant?

Here is the document in HTML that I was thinking of using, but want some clarification on how YaBB handles the cookies first. If all is well, feel free to modify and use on your own forum.

Code (HTML)

It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are used to provide a service that you use. </p>
 <h2>Disabling Cookies</h2>
 <p>You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser Help for how to do this).

YaBB uses Cookies to keep track of certain types of user preferences like sort options, guest language choices, user logins, whether or not the user is logged into a password protected board. There are YaBB Mods that use cookies to remember if someone under-aged tried to register. The EU Cookies Privacy Popup uses a cookie to remember when the popup was shown to a user.

'forever' cookies simply have a very long expiration date. Logging out should remove most YaBB Cookies.

I figure if someone is coming back to a forum after a year or more, the chances are they're on a new machine with a new browser and the old cookies aresn't even there to worry about.

So again I'll make the offer to you, to create a Cookie Policy Template from what I posted that you can include with your eucookie mod and to post here for others to use.  Cool

I think after the holidays I shall rewrite this one to include editing of the privacy statement via the Admin Center - COPPA Compliance has the code. (But that also means multiple versions of both Mods. Oh well...  :Smiley )

Found an error,

When all is install, on
Quote:
In Admin Center -> Forum Settings -> Members -> Privacy -> set location of your privacy statement and how many days for the Privacy Cookie to expire and the popup shows again.


when adding the url for the privacy.html, if we dont add "" it doesnt work and gave an error, I notice that it write the url without "" on the Setting.pm on line $privacy_url =.
Adding the "" with url, in location of your privacy statement section, will add the url correctly and it work well, don't know yet if it respect the days delay.

or is it only me?

There's probably a typo relating to how it writes to Settings.pm. The timing should work since I have the Mod running here.
