The following three requirements apply to all UW–Madison websites as part of complying with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
-
Cookie Consent
We have created several versions of the cookie notice to accommodate the various types of websites on campus. If one of the following options does not suit your needs, please contact the University Marketing web team at web@umark.wisc.edu.
The Cookie Consent JavaScript module displays a dialog box at the bottom of every page of your website that:
- informs site visitors about the use of cookies on your site.
- provides a link to the UW–Madison privacy notice.
- displays a confirmation button that visitors can click to indicate that they understand the cookie policy.
Once the confirmation button is clicked, the dialog box will no longer appear to that user when they visit your site, or any other wisc.edu website using this module, from the same device and browser.
-
Link to Privacy Notice in footer
Part of our minimum web standards, every UW–Madison website must have a link to the university’s Privacy Notice in its footer.
-
Add a checkbox before the submit button on all web forms
“I understand my information is being used for [INSERT HERE] purpose(s).”
