Can consent be implied? #62

Open Scribbio opened 4 years ago

I'm a little concerned about the use of "implied consent" in this banner - this seems to be a bit of a grey area according to various sources.

Is there any way in applying an option in changing the banner into a pop up modal, preventing website access and still be as effective?

Thanks!

The implied consent behavior (i.e. the banner disappearing upon reload, even without user action) can be deactivated by setting the waitAccept parameter to true.

I don't think anything stands in the way of customizing the banner's CSS so that it overlays the rest of the page, thus requiring user action before allowing interaction with the page.
