Al Brookbanks Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Yes. A number of issues such as no double opt in and GPDR report tools. We are in the process of improving things further. It's a big fat ball ache for everyone but such a good thing. Hope to have 6.2.1 available next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keat Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 What's annoying is, after everyone has jumped up and down, panicked, made lots of changes and shoved lots of paper about, it will all blow over. Unscrupulous companies will still sell dodgy mailing lists, spammers and phishers will still spam and phish. I've no doubt that the EU will have to change some of the rules to satisfy SME's at some point. I had a customer today asking for his details to be removed, which transpired was nothing to do with GDPR, but the fact that he's no longer trading. However, because of GDPR, this made me think twice about protecting his data. What if it was someone else pretending to be him. By removing the data, I wouldn't neccessarily be protecting it. !!! Can you tell that I'm peed off with it already. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brookbanks Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Exactly. The EU cookie compliance regulations were the same panic. I've been busy trying to make CubeCart compatible for you guys.. I've not even looked at CubeCart Limited yet! We have no mailing list though which makes it easier. BTW 6.2.1 is coming. FUN!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Butter Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The millennium bug never happened because people either bought new equipment or did something like what I did at school. I reset the server clock to 1972?? (I think - same calendar days as 2001) and removed all instances where the year showed to the users. We limped along for quite a few more years on that old system.

Al Brookbanks Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Unless you are a big company with poor track record I don't think it will be unless a complaint is made against your store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankiemeek Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 HI there I wandered how i can change the wording of the standard Cube Cart Cookie Policy to my own wording? I cannot see this in the admin area. I don't really want to change the core files, as when i update in future it will disappear. Am i being blind? I also want to change the wording of the checkbox in the checkout of 'I agree to the Terms & Conditions'. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks Frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keat Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'm taking advice from BSmither reagrding having T&C's compulsary during the checkout process. It's proving to a bit tricky, but hopefully getting somewhere. Maybe you might want to keep an eye on that thread. Regarding a Privacy Policy, you can copy mine and take from it what you need. As a small company, we can't afford the services of a legal team to dot every I and cross every T, so I can't vouch for it's legality. https://www.beal.org.uk/privacy-policy.html However, this was handed to me by a GDPR practitioner, so i'm confident that it should satisfy. In the general discussion side of the forum is a thread about GDPR, it would be nice to get other peoples views and interpretations of GDPR..

frankiemeek Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Sorry I can't see where this is? I've looked at all the documents and none refer to the cookie policy text? Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foz1234 Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 i only have PayPal standard gateway on one store and the new store i have Braintree PayPal gateway, all payments are taken through PayPal none are handled by ourselves, is there anything i need to add to your privacy policy to point it towards PayPal's policy? No customer details have ever been passed on to any 3rd party, we only keep the information the customer enters in name address email telephone and what they purchased, and then we print off the paid invoice to keep hard copy for accountant a very small operation really. thanks for heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
