Helping publishers with cookie consent AND Cookie Consent Kit by the European Commission

European laws require that digital publishers give visitors to their sites and apps information about their use of cookies and other forms of local storage. In many cases these laws also require that consent be obtained.

This site is produced by Google. We work with lots of publisher partners and, based on that experience, we wanted to provide any publishers with easy-to-implement tools that can help them meet their legal obligations to get user consent.
What do I need to do?

web cookies
web cookies compliance












There’s guidance from data protection authorities and IABs (see below) across Europe on what is required to comply with relevant laws. We also recommend seeking legal advice on what’s right for your website or app, though we recognize that many publishers don’t have access to legal advice.

There are vendors that offer tools or solutions to add a cookie consent function to your website, some of which are free of charge. For example:

    Cookie Consent by Silk tide
    Cookie Control by CIVIC
    The Cookie Collective by Governor Technology
    Cookie bot by Cybot
    Cookie Consent Kit by the European Commission

These solutions can be configured in different ways. Some of them allow you to give your users choices about the cookies used on your site. For example, your visitors might be presented with an option to block 'advertising' cookies. It's important to note that such configurations won't control the cookies on your site automatically.

So if you're using third party advertising services, such as Google AdSense, you'll need to take steps to integrate your preferred solution with the advertising tags on your pages to make sure your users' preferences are respected. Each vendor offers instructions or support services for doing this. If you don't follow these steps for all the tags on your pages, you risk misleading your users: they will think they’re switching off advertising cookies when in fact advertising cookies will still be used. Therefore, test carefully any implementation of these tools on your own site.
iOS Android

// This code will work in iOS 2 and up
// (spoiler: you're not going to need anything below iOS 6).
// Tested in iOS 7
// In your app's UIApplicationDelegate:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
  (...)
  NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

    NSString *message =
      @"Your message for visitors here";
    UIAlertView *alert =
      [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Cookies"
                                 message:message
                                delegate:self
                       cancelButtonTitle:nil

Make sure you carefully test this code in your own apps. Note that it does not distinguish EU visitors from non-EU visitors, so all your visitors will see the notices unless you add your own geographic restrictions.
What do I put in my consent message?

Unfortunately we can’t tell you what your website or app consent message should say because it will largely depend on your own uses of cookies and other information, and the third party services you work with. However, we can give you some pointers.

Here’s a message that might be appropriate for your website, if you use products like Google AdSense or Google Analytics, or similar products from other organisations. Just remember, you’ll need to adjust this to suit your own uses of cookies and other information.

We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners who may combine it with other information you’ve provided to them or they’ve collected from your use of their services. See details

For an app, you might want a slightly different message:

We use device identifiers to personalise content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic. We also share such identifiers and other information from your device with our social media, advertising and analytics partners who may combine it with other information you’ve provided to them or they’ve collected from your use of their services. See details
Where should 'See details' link?

The link in your message may expand the area that contains the message, to offer more information, or it may open a new page that contains additional detail. That new page might be part of your Privacy Policy, or it might be a dedicated cookie policy.

Again, we can’t tell you what to write by way of detail: it will depend on the cookies and other information you use, the other services you work with, and any opt-out controls made available to users of your site. However, we can offer some help as regards your use of Google products on your site.

If you’re using Google products like Google AdSense or DoubleClick for Publishers, you’ll be required by your contract to follow Google’s EU user consent policy. If you are using Google Analytics Advertiser Features, you’ll be required to follow the Policy requirements for Google Analytics Advertisers features. To comply with the disclosure obligations with respect to Google's use of data, you have the option to display a prominent link to How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

Implementing a consent mechanism like this for your EU visitors, which includes a link to an additional information page that in turn links to Google’s information about how Google uses data, can help you meet the requirements of Google’s own policies. It should also help towards your compliance with European cookie and data protection laws.

How to Effortlessly Unlock Geo Restricted Content with Secure VPN

I've been a web developer for almost 16 years now, and I still can't even begin to comprehend the sheer volume of content available on the Internet. It's staggering. Windows apps,ios apps,android apps, secure vpn,privacy policy,USA security,fbi on secure vpnether or not the Internet contains the sum total of all human knowledge is hard to quantify. But for all practical purposes, yeah, it basically does. The Internet is the most incredible feat of engineering in human history. And the amount of content gets bigger every day. All it takes is turning on more web servers.


As of January 2015, there were 5,061,365 web servers in the world. The problem is, those servers are scattered throughout virtually every country on earth, and lots of the content you want to access is restricted to you because of where you live. Wouldn't it be great if you could access this content, no matter what country you're in? Let's look at how Secure VPN gives you the ability to effortlessly unlock the geo-restricted content that you want.


WHY YOU NEED  A SECURE VPN PLAN

Unlock Geo Restricted Content

Common Types of Geo-Restricted Content

Geo-restricted is short for “geographically-restricted.” Also called “geo-blocking,” geo-restriction is the practice of blocking access to certain websites based on your location, which is determined by your Internet Protocol (IP) address. Restricted content generally falls into three main categories: entertainment, news/social media, and online shopping. And by “content,” I mean anything that you want to watch, listen to, read, or buy.

1. Entertainment

 – This content is usually streaming video or music. Entertainment websites that restrict access to their services based on location include Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and iTunes. This is by far the most common content that people want to unlock while surfing the Internet.

2. News and social media



 – There's a lot of overlap between news and social media, so that's why I'm lumping them together here. Many people (including me) get the majority of their news from social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Although neither block their content based on location, some regions completely block access to Facebook and Twitter for everyone who lives there. Also, some big media sites like the New York Times block you after a certain number of page views, forcing you to pay if you want more.


3. Online shopping 


– Some things you want to buy aren't necessarily available in your area, or at least not at the same price. For example, a 2013 study found that Australians are forced to pay up to 37% more than American consumers for the same products. Big companies will sometimes price-gouge you depending on where you live. This gives an unfair advantage to consumers in favored markets.


How Secure VPN Lets You Unlock Geo-Restricted Content Effortlessly


Unlocking restricted content is one of the main draws of VPN. The way it works is that Secure VPN has servers in multiple countries, including the Netherlands and the United States. These servers (also called “exit nodes”) form the backbone of Secure VPN's network. When you join the network using Secure VP N's software, you get to choose which exit node you want to use based on which country you want to appear to be in while you're online. When you connect to that node, you're borrowing the IP address of that server.


Going back to the example above, let's say that you live in Australia, and you want to watch some YouTube videos that have been restricted to American audiences only. Lots of YouTube's content is Geo-restricted these days. Using the VPN software, you'd choose the exit node that's in the United States. 

When you visit YouTube after connecting to Secure VPN's network via its U.S. exit node, the request for the content is coming from the United States, at least as far as YouTube is concerned. The server makes the request via its own IP address, then funnels the content back to your computer in Australia through robust encryption software. Pretty cool, huh? You've just effortlessly unlocked geo-restricted YouTube content with Secure VPN. Piece of cake.


You can do this with any of the exit nodes to unlock content that's restricted to that county. And keep in mind that content is often restricted by region rather than country. So an exit node in the Netherlands will probably let you unlock most content in all of Europe.
There's a great big Internet out there, and you should be be able to unlock and explore all of it effortlessly without restrictions based on where you happen to live. And Secure VPN makes it possible for you to do just that.
