Privacy, GDPR & Cookie Consent
Configure privacy settings, enable cookie consent banners, and ensure GDPR/CCPA compliance for your HugoBlox website.
HugoBlox helps you build privacy-respecting websites. By default, no user data is collected.
Cookie Consent
If you use third-party integrations (like Google Analytics or Disqus), you may need to display a cookie consent banner for GDPR/CCPA compliance.
Configuration
Enable the built-in consent banner in config/_default/params.yaml:
marketing:
privacy:
cookie_consent:
enable: true
content:
message: "This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best experience."
dismiss: "Got it!"
link: "Learn more"
href: "/privacy/"Privacy Policy
It is best practice to include a Privacy Policy page on your site.
-
Create the Page Create a file at
content/privacy.md. -
Add Content Clearly explain what data you collect (if any) and how it is used.
--- title: Privacy Policy date: 2023-10-18 --- We value your privacy... -
Link to It Add a link to your privacy policy in your footer or the cookie consent banner.
Third-Party Services
Enabling third-party services like Google Analytics, Disqus, or Maps will likely set cookies on your visitors' devices. Ensure you disclose this in your privacy policy.
Privacy-First Alternatives
Consider using privacy-friendly alternatives supported by HugoBlox:
- Analytics: Pirsch, Fathom, or Plausible instead of Google Analytics.
- Comments: Giscus instead of Disqus.
- Search: Built-in Pagefind search (local) instead of Algolia.
