About the privacy banner
Uberflip hubs have optional privacy features built in that allow for hub front ends to be GDPR-compliant. These features are the Privacy Page, the Privacy Banner, and Privacy Groups. For information about the hub privacy features, see this help article.
The Privacy Page and Privacy Groups are covered in the reference guide to functionality pages.
This guide covers the Privacy Banner component. It can appear on any page in the hub front end, and may be customized and styled in various ways.
If enabled, the Privacy Banner component is a fixed banner that is displayed at the bottom of hub pages, on top of all other elements. It consists of a user-configurable message, an optional "Accept" button, a "Dismiss" button, and a link to the Privacy Page (if enabled). Its purpose is to provide visitors with GDPR-mandated notifications about data privacy and cookies.
Privacy banner
This component is displayed on all pages in the hub front end until a visitor interacts with it by either clicking "Accept" or "Dismiss". The banner disappears after the first interaction, but will reappear when certain settings in the hub backend are changed.
