So this will be required for previews of media such as video, audio. I’ll think for a way to include this warning. I’m just concerned that if the user needs to do this each and every time this will really be annoying rather than useful and desired. My suggestion:
- Previews of content that require tracking cookies remain visually the same as they are now (by suggested design).
- When the user clicks on such a preview (to play video or audio file) a warning message is displayed as overlay within the preview block. This message informs the user about possible third party tracking and asks for conscent. Also introducing a link to general privacy settings that will be part of User Profile settings.
- Once the conscent has been given for certain provider (YouTube for example) the user is no more asked to allow tracking each and every time there is a preview. Users are still able to change their preferences from the privacy settings.
- Privacy settings (will be in User Profile settings) will be generally an edittable list of content providers that use cookies and these are accepted by the user. Something like: “Allowed tracking cookies: -YouTube, -soundcloud, -someProvider” (with checkboxes).
Thoughts on this? @ivaylobadinov.chain , @YaniUnchained, @keno.chain
