Add and link a privacy policy

How to enable the mandatory privacy policy confirmation and correctly link the privacy policy (as an article or external redirect).

The mandatory privacy policy confirmation is displayed wherever personal data must be entered. You can enable the mandatory confirmation centrally and define a link target in the page structure.


Prerequisites

  • Access to Configuration → Basic Settings → Configuration

  • Access to CMS → Navigation → Page Structure

  • Access to CMS → Navigation → Articles

  • A privacy policy as text (for an article) or as an external URL/document.

  2. Enable the Privacy policy mandatory check (hidden by default).

  3. Save the change.

Note: Converia can provide a sample privacy policy upon request. The template is not exhaustive and must be adapted and supplemented by the website operator.

2) Create a link target in the page structure

  2. Create a folder or select an existing folder (e.g. "Home").

  3. Create a new page in the folder (e.g. "Privacy Policy").

  4. Set the action name to show_privacy_policy so that the privacy policy page is also linked in the footer of your pages.
