One of the major items on the Core-Privacy team's roadmap is a consent and logging mechanism / system for administrators to use to secure active consent, and for users to provide and rescind their consent, across the myriad of a site's plugins, data captures, and passive data collection.

This work was looking ahead to the imminent revamp of the ePrivacy Directive, the main EU law dealing with cookies and consent, which is set for late this year/early next year. However, with the UK ICO issuing bridging guidance on consent to cover the interim between GDPR and the old cookie regulation last month, and with the CJEU decision this morning, it's obvious we are going to need to bring the work forward.

We need as many participants as possible to make this happen on the front end, design/UX, and back end levels. I would love to see the major enterprise-levels and VIP agencies getting involved here, as these issues impact their client needs at large scale.

    v1 v3  
    55My question is whether WordPress now incorporates a management of cookies, making it easier for both WordPressadmin and website visitors to individually allow or block each cookie.

    7 I think it will be very important that this feature comes from Wordpress itself. Otherwise, every plugin will eventually have its own function, which makes Wordpress just more vulnerable and bigger.

    88It would be best if Wordpress asks each plugin developer which cookies are collected and the system Wordpress can then recognize and manage.
    99In the privacy policy you can then write an explanation for each cookie or function and also insert a shortcut via shortcode. That would be the best and easiest way. Then a cookie-consents and actually everything should be done.
