Orchard module containing features related to data protection/privacy and the EU law on it, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Check out a demo video of this module here.
Important! Using this module will not make your site GDPR-compliant alone. Do not forget to create a privacy policy page that you need to link to from the various consent-asking features.
We at Lombiq also used this module for the following projects:
- The new Lombiq website when migrating it from Orchard 1 to Orchard Core (see case study).
- The new Git-hg Mirror website when migrating it from Orchard 1 to Orchard Core (see case study).
- The new Hastlayer website when migrating it from Orchard 1 to Orchard Core (see case study).
- The new Orchard Dojo website when migrating it from Orchard 1 to Orchard Core (see case study).
This module is also available on all sites of DotNest, the Orchard Core SaaS, so it is being used in the new Ik wil een taart website as well (see case study).

NOTE: This module has an Orchard 1 version in the dev-orchard-1 branch.
The module consists of the following independent features:
Shows a banner where users can accept the privacy policy. Note that certain ad blockers can prevent the banner from showing up; e.g., AdGuard AdBlocker for Chrome doesn't do this, but I don't care about cookies (not too surprisingly) does.
If the user is unauthenticated, they can use the banner to accept or reject the privacy statement, their decision will be stored in a cookie by the browser.
If the user is authenticated, their only option is to accept the privacy policy via the banner. This is so because it is assumed that during registration they already accepted a suitable privacy policy, it's just that the Lombiq.Privacy module or something similar wasn't used at the time.
Shows a privacy consent checkbox on the registration form that needs to be checked by the users to be able to register. After registration, the user's consent is stored in the PrivacyConsent section of the user's properties.
NOTE: If the user registered before this feature was enabled then they can accept the consent with the consent banner (if it's enabled). The consent will be stored in this case as well.
Adds a new Privacy Consent Checkbox widget content type that can be added to forms with the Forms module. In this case, users must accept the privacy policy before they can post content to the site. You can validate the consent with the Validate Privacy Consent Checkbox workflow activity in the following way:
