FluentCommunity & iubenda

I just found out that if the iubenda plugin is activated the FluentCommunity site is incomplete - it is not rendered completely.

No idea what’s iubenda is. But you submit a support ticket with them. Not sure why they interfere with this front end UI.

Oh, I wouldn't install plugins like that. It doesn't protect against hackers, you can write the rules of use yourself, and what are cookies anyway? joke)

Artur AbakarovΒ they auto update the privacy policy for you so it stays compliant when you either use their plugin or drop in code. Good for larger entities who have to prove privacy compliancy.

Jeff Brigman Hmm... I understand, and I have an opinion about such plugins: in my view, large organizations have legal departments and website administrators who are responsible for monitoring such things. This plugin is more likely intended for micro or small businesses, or even individuals, who find it easier to shift responsibility. The plugin is more like vitamins; it's not mandatory, it doesn't solve much, but it just makes it seem like everything is under control. At least there is no law requiring you to buy it to comply with the law, so I would ignore it for that reason.

And there is another important point: unnecessary plugins overload the site, create vulnerabilities, add unnecessary lines of code and data tables, and run automatic cron tasks.

I highly recommend not cluttering your website with unnecessary plugins, those that are not essential or redundant in terms of functionality.

Artur AbakarovΒ I personally don’t use it. At most I may use their site to generate a current policy that I can post myself.

I agree on the excess bloat of plugins that may offer some convenience but in reality you could do it yourself.
