As per privacy regulation guidelines such as GDPR and CCPA, Wix has enabled a cookie policy which allows all parties to adhere to the applicable laws.
Important:
All apps are bound by the Wix Partner Agreement, which contains obligations related to privacy regulations (including honoring each site visitor’s decision about cookies).
- Site owner sets up a consent policy which includes any or all of the following consent types:
- Essential: lets the visitor move around the website and use essential features like secure and private areas.
- Functional: used to remember choices users make to improve their experience (e.g. language).
- Analytics: lets the site/app owner understand how visitors use the website (e.g. which pages they visit), to provide statistics on how the website is used, improve the website by identifying any errors, and performance issues.
- Advertising/Marketing: used to collect information about the impact of marketing campaigns performed in other websites on users and non-users.
- Data to Third Parties: lets the site/app owner share data with third (or fourth) parties (includes the "sale" of data, as well sharing data for essential or enhanced functionality, e.g., Google Analytics) - specifically for CCPA compliance.
- Site visitor gets a popup/banner about cookies.
- Site visitor interacts with popup/banner, setting their consent policy – they can choose which of the options to allow.
After this point, third parties can access the consent policy per visitor, and can then decide what actions to take per their app’s functionality and interpretation of applicable data privacy regulations such as GDPR and others.
Access to the consent policy set by each site visitor is available using the iframe JS SDK. The JS SDK also provides access to the default site policy as set by the site owner. See Implement Cookie Consent Requirements for details.
