Check this out my Village members, and future Village members alike, this is POPE T.B. and for many reasons other than earned, Benjamin Edward Ficial, POPE Ben E. Ficial the First!
When I learn something, I share something! One thing about me running a Village that is a living Legacy to pass down to my daughter, when I pass, is having to be in compliance with all of the rules and regulations that are associated with a legit Village, and that includes ALL necessary jargon needed to keep our Village available to the communities globally, as our visitors have been chiming in and greeting us from everywhere from the U.K, to Panama, Switzerland, a couple of countries in Africa, Salute and Greetings of Peace and Good Energy.
This is what they told me about how the whole cookie situation works on the Village platform, which in turn tells you how ALL of them work pretty much!
I had to put the banner on there for compliance, and I have no desire to know anything about you, besides how we can help you, help me, help us, help them, help us!
There's a lot that I don't do on our Village platform because I would rather not, first of all, but second of all, that information could go elsewhere, I would NEVER not know what is cool and not for us a head of time. Maybe, when you sign up, we can go over the reasons that you chose POPEn Ent. for your next party or Fiesta (Just kidding about the party part... SIKE!) We can have livestream verses without all the other commotion, and let em wait a week, and show em that we worth something in numbers.
Below is what I have learned so far, and I can lightweight tell you what I do, and don't do to make sure that you don't have to do what you might not want to do! Especially since EVERY other site doesn't say zhit about it! Imagine that?!
I REALly love my peoples, and not just when it's convenient, like Mariah Carrie's Ethnicity ... - (Chino XL line)
It states that "A Wix cookie banner shows your visitors that your site can be trusted. For other legal reasons related to the GDPR, displaying a cookie banner is highly recommended if your website is based in, or is visited by citizens of, the European Union (EU). There are, however, consequences to using a cookie banner that may affect your site in other ways.
Cookies are pieces of code that take note of your behavior and preferences while visiting a website. Learn more.
A cookie consent banner is a notification that informs your visitors on how their cookies are being used on your site. By enabling the Wix cookie banner, only essential cookies are placed on your visitor’s device. Using the banner, visitors can approve the usage of other types of cookies as well.
Disadvantages of Displaying a Wix Cookie Banner
Displaying a Wix cookie banner is a trade-off between GDPR compliance and loss of data (I don't care about losing no data). Here is the ways that loss of data can affect your site:
Your site may appear to have a decline in traffic reports (All you gotta do to solve that issue, is when you visit the Village, Stop, Give a Hey What's up from (Your location), and I'm good, and analytics. This includes data on how long a visitor stayed (If you became a member, You can stay for however long you have time, I'm not tracking no parts of that, unless we have homework, or a contest, but not a chance folks!) What keywords they used to find you? (Just let me know how you heard of us, and We straight like 9:15, how they found you (References from yourself is good, I don't need a computer tryna figure it out for me!), how many pages they looked at (Eventually you'll look at them all, and I am not tryna track that! What pages they were on? (Hell nah, just let me know what you thought was cool, or not, and what we can do to fix, repair, or make square, because I actually do care about more than if you buy something from me, I want you to learn something, and if you support our Village with a purchase, which REALly is for yourself, and we keep the money in the community, I buy in partnership from brother Hak at BlackandNobel.com, you use our family Village code on your way out, and not only get a V.I.POPEn Membership Upgrade for your whole Family, for our 2 year anniversary, I am giving and extra 2% back like milk! But unlike MILK, I am not going to give you diseases that doesn't get sanitized through the process, or if they signed up or purchased something.
Third-party marketing integrations, such as Facebook Campaigns or Google Ads, also use cookies to function and may be affected by a loss of accurate reporting (And I don't EVER do those).
Finally, you may notice a difference between analytic reporting and integrations that rely on essential cookies. This includes notifications and integrations in the Wix Mobile App. For example, Chatbots - which rely on essential cookies - allow you to chat live with a site-visitor. Later, this visitor may be missing from your analytic reports. This is because they have declined analytic cookies. (Good to know, and if we spoke, I am good with that!"
Tip:You can manage your chat notifications in the Wix Mobile App at any time.
Advantages of Displaying a Wix Cookie Banner
While data loss is inconvenient, the advantages of displaying a Wix cookie banner can swing the scales in your favor:
An obvious advantage of displaying the cookie banner is to help your site’s compliance with the GDPR and similar laws, such as Brazil's LGPD. Non-compliance with the GDPR can result in heavy fines amounting to as much as €20 million, or 4% of your company's annual turnover (whichever is greater) (See what I mean?).
Data privacy is an increasingly important issue (For them scrambling ways to access your data across the globe). By displaying a Wix cookie banner, you are showing that you care about the rights of your site visitors. In turn, this helps to build trust and demonstrates that you are a responsible site owner. This helps the reputation of your business. THIS IS IN REAL LIFE, You can see so far how far above and beyond I go for my Village Family Members. Assante for the opportunity!
Having a Wix cookie banner is an immediate signal to visitors that your site is trustworthy. Wix.com's own data points to conversion increases within EU countries with the addition of our cookie banner. It's important to me.
Compliance with the GDPR is legally important, but it also makes good business sense. It shows your visitors that you care about a relevant issue, like data privacy, but also how it affects the individual consumer. Customers will notice this and your site will benefit from it. Displaying a cookie banner is best practice for a modern business operating online today!
And there you have the first part of a few more POPEn Ent. Fax over Fixed Shun to let you know,
Why Us?!
Share if you care, Zhit... Share if you don't!
Privacy matters, and I am not in it for the money!
I am REALly one of the Last of the Scohicans!
Assante,
