To help you better understand the behavior of visitors to your website, you are most likely using cookies to help your website keep track of visits and activity. However, those cookies can store a wealth of data, enough to potentially identify you without your consent. With the new GDPR regulations in place, if you use cookies you need to have a notification that requests consent from your site visitors. You can follow the steps in this tutorial video to create a simple pop up cookie notification.

Keep in mind that where on your site you place your cookie notification matters as well. If you place it on a master page the cookie notification will appear on all pages that have that master applied. If you place it on a specific page, like the homepage, it will only appear on that one page.

If you want the cookie notification to appear only once for the user, regardless of what page they enter from, that functionality is currently not available in TIME Sites. You will need to use a 3rd party cookie notification company instead, and embed that into your TIME Sites site.

The GDPR is meant to protect users data. TIME Sites does not collect any data from users visiting your site, and can do little to help make your site GDPR compliant. You can create a notification to alert users of cookies being used. Visit the following sites to gain a better understanding of what GDPR means for you.
