Feature request: Privacy Policy Page

[nthomasgsy]

Please can I suggest the need to have a privacy policy that is displayed on the root page. This is required for GDPR compliance in Europe and we are in a grey area of legality without it. This should be admin editable and if possible should tie in to the Cloudflare cookie policy where Cloudflare services are enabled, such as analytics.

UK ICO Guidance on how to write a Privacy Notice

(I had suggested this on Discord server but was told to raise an issue).

Hi, to clarify, this is not a request to formulate a policy on my behalf. But to have a way to provide a link to a static web page from the server home page in the main branch code. On a similar basis, there should be cookie opt in functionality for those browsing the server homepage. This is GDPR Privacy By Design and a legal requirement in Europe.

I understand now, sorry for the confusion. Wildebeest has no cookies, but having an optional link to a policy page makes sense, we'll look into that.
