Compliance with Federal Law No. 152-FZ: User Consent Management Tool

The “Personal Data (Cookies)” plugin is designed to organize the collection and recording of consent for the processing of personal data and the use of cookies in accordance with the requirements of Federal Law No. 152-FZ “On Personal Data.”

The solution implements a consent management mechanism and enables proper user notification regarding the use of cookies and other data processing technologies.

Why Are Standard Notifications Not Enough?

A simple notification such as “We use cookies” does not provide users with a полноценный choice. Under legal requirements, it is necessary to offer users the ability to manage data categories and to record the факт of consent.

The plugin categorizes cookies and allows users to independently determine which types of processing they authorize.

Data Type Management

Granular consent management is implemented:

• Technical (necessary) cookies: enabled by default, as they ensure the basic functionality of the website (shopping cart, authentication, etc.).
• Marketing and analytics cookies: used for statistics and advertising; can be disabled by the user.
• Personalization and other categories: configured by the administrator depending on the specifics of the project.

A separate title and description can be defined for each category.

Consent Log

The system stores:

• Session ID and IP address (in anonymized form).
• Selected cookie categories.
• Date and time of consent.
• Privacy policy version.

The data is available for viewing and export in CSV format. The log may be used as proof of consent in the event of audits or disputes.

Interface and Placement

Available settings:

• Display format: modal window (banner).
• Notification positioning on the screen.
• Separate spacing and behavior settings for mobile devices.
• Dark theme support (relevant for certain new design themes) - styles are configured additionally.
• Customization of background, text, and button colors.

Modification and Withdrawal of Consent

After the user makes a selection, the notification collapses into an icon (widget). Through it, the user can reopen the settings and modify previously selected options.

This enables the implementation of a consent withdrawal mechanism.

Performance and Compatibility

The plugin is optimized and does not have a significant impact on website loading speed.

It operates in the frontend of Webasyst applications: Shop-Script, Blog, Photo, WCMS, Hub, and Site.

Privacy policy versioning is supported. When the policy version changes, the user is shown the notification again to confirm the updated terms.

Scope of Application

The solution is suitable for:

1. Online stores using analytics and retargeting systems.
2. Corporate websites processing personal data of clients and partners.
3. Information projects connected to advertising networks.

Problems Addressed

• Elimination of legal risks: Full compliance with the requirements of Federal Law No. 152-FZ “On Personal Data.”
• Reduction of bounce rate: A non-intrusive design does not frighten visitors or force them to leave the website.
• Increased trust: Transparency in data matters enhances your brand image.
• Preservation of analytics: Clear explanation of the benefits of cookies encourages users to provide consent rather than indiscriminately blocking everything.

Do not wait until regulators come knocking. Install the “Personal Data (Cookies)” plugin today and ensure a secure and transparent future for your business. It is a small investment that pays off in peace of mind and customer loyalty.
