Thank you for posting, Zoe-Beth Hobbs! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific features or options would you like to see in the cookies opt-in/out functionality?
- Are there any particular compliance standards or guidelines you are following that we should be aware of?
- How urgent is this feature for your business operations, and do you have a timeline in mind for when you need it implemented?

Jacob Choi-Durham Hi Jacob! There is a cookies option for the Link in bio, however it doesn't have an an opt out function. To be GDPR compliant for websites, landing pages, link in bios etc. it MUST have a cookies notice where users can chose to opt in or out of no-essential cookies. The cookies that are auto through beacons are NON-ESSENTIAL and there is no opt out, meaning Beacons is non-compliant in UK and EU.
This is a super straight forward doos and don't for GDPR in EU (its the same for the UK too) which might help you understand the difference between essential and non essential cookies. https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/dealing-with-customers/data-protection/online-privacy/index_en.htm
GDPR compliance is the number 1 most important thing for a business in the UK and EU so it is of the upmost urgency. I have seen another thread for this function who also are expressing how urgent this feature is.
Ideally a option toggle for cookies (that includes and opt out option for web visitors) would be a great feature and make the Beacons platform more accessible to EU and UK residents. The feature would either be a pop up or a banner that web visitors can click a link to view the cookies policy and chose to opt out of non essential cookies.
Perhaps the temporary solution could be adding an HTML block so beacons users can add in their own cookies pop up/banner??
Timeline wise, this should be beacons' top feature priority so it complies to UK and EU laws. Please can this be rolled out asap? Even an HTML block would be super helpful right now!
