Mantis BT and cookies

Post by ajtruckle »

Hi !

It has been brought to my attention that on my website I have no warning about using cookies on the website.

Does Mantis BT use cookies in anyway? I need to know for my website.

Thanks.

Thanks for the answer. So what kind of message do I need to convey to the user about MantisBT use of cookies?

Thank you.

I don't know, I am not a lawyer and it seems there are also different rules in different countries for it.
Just search the web to find hundreds of pages like that https://econsultancy.com/blog/10205-20- ... ompliance/

I don't want to get bogged down with it. I can simply say that my site uses cookies.

I just wanted to know how MantisBT uses cookies. This is obviously known. Is it documented anywhere?

For my phpbb forum there was a plugin I could use which is great. So I now get a small cookie policy warning at the bottom right that I have to accept. So that is good.

Just need something similar is MantisBT. Pity there is not a plugin already.

You have to look at the source code if you need even more information
