Our core platform does not generate any cookies that cause any concern for the GDPR legislation. The GDPR is not concerned with "session cookies". A session cookie is one that does not survive after a user restarts their browser or device. Any cookie on our platform is not visible to other websites.
- Our session cookie (JSESSIONID) - help maintain a user session even when 1 server goes down for temporary maintenance. The session cookie ensures the visitors experience is maintained for the duration of their visit to your website.
- Shopping basket cookies (B_ID) are session only and help a user maintain an active shopping cart as they navigate around your website.
- Member logged in cookie - maintains a users secure / logged in session.
There are however some cookies that are designed to be saved longer, in these cases the user participates in activating the cookie by ticking a box.
- Login Remember Me - When a user logs in and ticks remember me, the user session will survive for a longer period of time, even if the user restarts their browser or device.
- Shopping Cart Remember Me - When a user wants to make it faster to checkout next time. Only the ID is saved as a cookie.
Where a merchant should consider the GDPR legislation more carefuly.
- Affiliate Tracking - This tracking mechanism is designed to capture the ID of the affiliate who helped bring a visitor to the website. The cookie is saved without the visitor being aware of it. This cookie is designed to last longer than the browser session. The duration is a configurable setting for the merchant.
- Google Analytics - If you use google analytics, then google may add more cookies that you need to consider
- Facebook Pixel - if you use facebook pixel tracking, then facebook may add more cookies that you need to consider.
Other Session Storage (Similar to session cookies)
- Services such as popups, may also store a short term value in browser session storage. This is to prevent the popups from constantly occuring. There is no server side data associated with a popup.
- Shopping cart cache. The shopping cart detail maybe stored in the temporary browser session storage, to make it faster to navigate your website, and retain a constantly visible cart.
In general, our platform is compliant with New Zealand and International law, and you do not need to add Cookie warnings, nor cookie consents.
