Hi markwt,

I used your instructions with Chrome for the cookies. What’s the difference between Channel ID and cookie? There are some where it’s written only Channel ID, what’s that? What does it do?

Thanks,

Thank you for the answer.

All the best,
Davide

Ok thanks,

So I suppose that cookie is something like a technical data and it doesn’t use personal data. Both are managed in a different way.

However, the GDPR has new indications for the old cookie law, so we still have to include it in our cookie policy where there is the list of all the type of cookies used (with their weird names) and the explaination of what they do.

I don’t know about the codes yet but what I know is this:

By default they are Personalized Ads (which means that Google can display both, personalized or not, depending on the data they have from the customer).

The consent for this type of Ads unfortunately are more restricted. Which means that in you cookie plugin, you need to have explicit consent before the Ad is served. Scrolling is not allowed. The user needs to click OK and only afterwards the personalized Ad can be served.

You can use, somewhere, I still don’t get this, to serve only Non-personalized Ads. In this case, they still use cookies but they are another type of cookies, so the only scrolling for consent is allowed.

You can serve both, like the huffingtonpost you saw, with a cookie plugin that can manage that, and it gives Personalized Ads if the user says yes, or Non-Personalized Ads if they user says no.

This should be the general concept but I still don’t need all the technical details about it.

Thank you.

I was thinking the same thing as I received the same report.

It’s a simple and useful plugin, I hope it could be maintained.

Best,
Davide
