Easiest and Best Way to Implement Cookies and Ensure GDPR Compliance?

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for the easiest and most efficient way to add cookies to my Bubble.io website while staying compliant with GDPR regulations. I want to make sure:

Non-essential cookies (like for analytics) are only loaded after user consent.
There’s a simple, user-friendly way for users to manage their cookie preferences.
I can log and manage user consent without much hassle.

To make sure you’re compliant, you’ll have to incorporate a decent amount of logic (not that it’s hard, but it’s tedious).

Five steps to becoming GDPR compliant on your Bubble App:

Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.

Bubble has a built-in option where users can accept cookies on your site. It’s enabled by default. You have to turn this setting on from the general settings tab I believe. This will allow you to use a new workflow action called “Consent to cookies” or something along those lines. You will also want to use your own cookies for other functionalities. You can use this plugin to achieve that with the Cookies CRUD manager.

Provide accurate and specific information about the data each cookie tracks and its purpose in plain language before consent is received.

This is something you can do easily. Just make sure you categorize your cookies and documented for their intended purpose.

Document and store consent received from users.

When a user consents to cookies, that data is saved on the Bubble’s internal database. You can then toggle this with the same action I believe.

Allow users to access your service even if they refuse to allow the use of certain cookies

Self explanatory.

Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

Just create a reusable element for the users to be able to toggle the cookies on or off!

But I’m too lazy

… or you could pay another service more than you need to.

Hope this helps!

Recommend this plugin: GDPR Cookie Consent Plugin | Bubble

Like I was saying… or, you can spend $40 for something unnecessary.

You can control Bubble’s cookies that way but if you have any third party cookies you’ll be managing them with JavaScript.

Plugin just gives an easy system with banner for doing so.

My point is mate the plugin isn’t worth $40

Example:
display2toolkit
Free.

My bad. I totally missed your plugin link. That actually looks awesome! Will have a play

@GH5T Why I can not find your plugin in bubble library?
