Hi guys,
although i have already created a dedicated support ticket, i guess this could be also relevant for the community:
We are facing issues in regards to the "Share"-Button of Khoros. As you might already know, Khoros is using AddThis functionality for sharing articles and posts.
AddThis already updated there solution in regards to being compliant with the GDPR ruleset and once a user is clicking they explicit consent of a user is asked for.
The Problem:
Every Khoros Layout including the Share Button component will already set AddThis related cookies, before the user is clicking on the share-Button and before the user has any chance to give consent. From a GDPR perspective this is really critical.
To give you a proof that the mentioned cookies are not related to one of our communities, here is a link for an article within this Khoros community:
When visiting the mentioned url, you can easily find the cookies __atuvc and __atuvs belonging to AddThis and before you clicked any share button.
Both mentioned cookies are also not listed here in the cookie policy, as it is a cookie set by AddThis not directly via Khoros.
But it will be delivered via the Khoros pages and this makes it again critical.
