GDPR and KVS

[jungleland]

Hi friend

I saw in my site there is a cookie called "kt_ips" that tracks userip. 

What is this uses for? Can be disabled? I disabled stats and cookie is still there

Will you plan in a future a plugin to make sites friendly with GDPR and gives the users the option of decline cookies?

 

Thanks

This cookie is needed for IP-based protection on video file links, which is required for anti-hotlink working. You can switch it off by switching off IP protection in Settings -> Content Settings -> Video download script protection settings. Change Hotlink protection type to By referrer (50%). Then KVS will not install this specific cookie.

No, we don't think this is needed. There are plenty of nice 3rd-party cookie widgets that you can install on your site and ask user's consent to use these cookies for system functioning like many other sites do. For example this:

As you can see every site has required cookies which is not possible to decline, but for KVS all cookies are required. There are no marketing / tracking / preferences cookies used by KVS.
