The Cookies Law is hitting hard against "web spam"

La ley de Cookies pisa con fuerza al "Spam web"
A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their equipment and, depending on the information they contain and the way in which they use their equipment, they can be used to recognise the user.

E.g. You have recently searched for a cheap flight with a company, and now on any website you are being offered more flights from that company. The website has detected what your needs are and is advertising to a potential customer.

In the image we can see the cookies that have been introduced into our computers to track information. To carry out this procedure in a consent-based manner, an information and consent option that some pages already incorporate will have to be configured.

Section two of article 22 of the LSSI (Information Society Services Act) establishes that we cannot have a website that incorporates cookies on the computers of our visitors without having informed and accepted the user's consent.

What is the problem ?

If you don't configure it soon, the fine goes up to 30,000 for accessing a person's information without their consent.

Línea Grafica has created a module, professionally developed for PrestaShop, that displays the notice and obtains user consent to use cookies in your PrestaShop store . With this module you will be able to strictly comply with the LSSI. With the proper installation and use of this module, it will be impossible for a sanction to occur. In addition, you will be able to configure the text you want to incorporate, the background color of the text, a direct link to a page with information about cookies, and much more. Compatible with PrestaShop version 1.4 and 1.5

A safe bet to avoid the fine. Our Cookies Law module .
