    I have a few important questions regarding this plugin’s use of data.

    When this plugin is activated on a site:-

    does the plugin collect or send any data to third party servers?
    does the plugin use or set cookies on the website?

    thanks

    Hi,
    Regarding your questions:
    1. nope, it doesn’t
    2. yes, it does set cookies

    We’re releasing an update today that will include a Cookie Notice compatibility. This way it will not store cookies till user accepts the notice.

    Thank you for quick answer.

    Can you confirm which cookies are set please and their purpose (I’m not using your Cookie Notice plugin). Thank you.

    Seems this plugin save user IP on transient for week for duplicate post count.
    Is not that violation of the GPDR law ?

    It’s not doing that if you use our Cookie Notice for GDPR https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/cookie-notice/ plugin.

    I’m re-visiting the whole Cookies & Post Views thing using a test installation. I’ve installed and activated both your Cookie Notice & Post Views plugins but a cookie for Post Views is being set regardless of whether the user has accepted or declined cookies. You said Post Views is compatible with Cookie Notice so that cookies aren’t set until the User accepts so I thought this meant it will happen automatically without the need to put Javascript code in the Cookie Notice settings but this doesn’t seem to the case because pvc_visits cookie is set regardless of the user’s choice.

    I’m sorry but I just don’t get it; do I need to add Post Views Javascript in Cookie Notice settings or not? If I do, where to I find this code (your documentation doesn’t provide it).

    Thanks
