XcooBee Corporate

<p>Most current cookie CCPA and GDPR notices for WordPress are just that: Overlays that display information but do not actively manage cookie creation and life-cycles. Your site is still responsible for handling cookies, fingerprinting and Do-Not-Sell consent correctly. In contrast to this, the XcooBee Cookie Plugin is a true cookie-consent and life-cycle manager. It will help you implement the premises of the CCPA advent GDPR (European e-directive) correctly.</p>
<p>In addition, the XcooBee Cookie Plugin makes it easy for other plugins to manage their cookies and scripts correctly by simply setting html based tags for the cookies and scripts they need to have user consent to load. This way you will be compliant and continue to use your plugins.</p>
<p>The XcooBee Cookie Plugin Add-on does most of its work by establishing an integration to the open source <a href="https://github.com/XcooBee/xcoobee-cookie-kit" rel="nofollow ugc">Xcoobee Cookie Kit (XCK)</a>.</p>
<p>Extensive details on how the XcooBee Cookie Kit operates can be found on our <a href="https://www.xcoobee.com/docs/developer-documentation/plugins/xcoobee-cookie-kit/" rel="nofollow ugc">documentation pages</a>.</p>
<p>The objective of the XcooBee Cookie Kit (XCK) and this plug-in is to enable websites to manage their Cookie, Fingerprint and Do-Not-Sell consent more effectively and with less annoyance to their users. The XcooBee Cookie Plugin can work in concert with the XcooBee network to improve overall management for users and businesses but that is not required. A subscription also allows override in the visual style and allows you to add your own company branding. However, the XcooBee Cookie Plugin does work independently of XcooBee network.</p>
<p>With this plugin you can:<br />
    – use XcooBee pre-classification of cookies to present simplified and clear details of how you will use cookies<br />
    – share your cookie policies<br />
    – share your terms of service<br />
    – share your privacy policy<br />
    – determine cookie setter/unsetter scripts<br />
    – obtain and manage fingerprint consent<br />
    – allow users to manage consent (remove/add consent)<br />
    – trigger removal scripts when needed<br />
    – set timing and position of information display<br />
    – display notification in different languages<br />
    – display Do-Not-Sell option needed for CCPA<br />
    – manage 3rd party scripts such as Google Analytics cookie creation</p>
<p>With subscription to XcooBee you can also:<br />
    – document your consent interactions<br />
    – remote manage user consent<br />
    – document proper interactions and response time to user requests<br />
    – set additional style and company branding<br />
    – use crowd cookie intelligence<br />
    – auto manage CCPA Do-Not-Sell expiration<br />
    – obtain smart consent, pre-negotiated with XcooBee network<br />
    – transparently determine whether notification is necessary depending on country of origin<br />
    – get user sentiment (their attitude about your site and services)</p>
<p>The XcooBee Cookie Plug-in is an Add-on. It requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcoobee/" rel="ugc">XcooBee For WordPress</a> plugin to work correctly. You will need to install it first.</p>

<h3>How can other Plugins Work with XcooBee Cookie Add-on</h3>
<p>If you are a plugin developer who needs to use cookies or load scripts based on user consent, there is no need to develop your own. You can simply connect to the XcooBee infrastructure for cookies and everything will be automatically managed for you.</p>
<p>Using PHP:</p>
<h4>setting cookies</h4>
<p>After you install the add-on you can set managed cookies in PHP using the exposed XcooBee special function <code>xbee_cookie()</code>.</p>
<p>function header <code>function xbee_cookie($action, $category, array $cookie)</code></p>
<p>Example use:</p>
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
<p>To set:<br />
xbee_cookie(‘set’, ‘application’, [‘name’ => ‘cookieName’, ‘value’ => ‘cookieValue’, ‘days’ => 365]);</p>
<p>to remove:<br />
xbee_cookie(‘unset’, ‘application’, [‘name’ => ‘cookieName’]);</p>
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
<p>When setting a cookie, the <code>days</code> are optional.</p>
<h4>intercepting PHP calls</h4>
<p>As an option the XcooBee Cookie plugin allows you to catch all non-managed calls to create cookies for your site and assign them to a consent category and manage them.<br />
There is nothing you need to do except turn on the feature. This ensures compliance even when you have rogue plugins setting cookies you are not aware of through PHP.</p>
<p>Using HTML:</p>
<p>You can generate special HTML tags that the XcooBee Cookie Plugin will be able to use to determine your cookies and scripts automatically. The Cookie plugin will then set or remove based on user consent:</p>
<h4>cookie tag</h4>
<p>You can use <code><xbee-cookie></code> tag to declare a cookie anywhere in the HTML DOM. The addition here is the category. Please classify according to XcooBee classification system: application, usage, statistics, or advertising</p>
<p>Example of two tags one declaring a necessary (application) cookie while the other is declaring a personalization (usage) cookie:</p>
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
<p>the_value_of_the_cookie<br />
dark-blue<br />
    `</p>
<h4>script tag</h4>
<p>You can use the <code><xbee-script></code> tag to declare a script to be loaded later after proper consent has been obtained. You should also consider an equivalent removal or cleanup script to be run should the consent be removed.</p>
<p>Example of google analytics script managed by XcooBee:</p>
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
<p>
  </p>
<pre><code>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');
</code></pre>
<p>
  </p>
<pre><code>`<h3>XcooBee Cookie Kit (XCK) Details</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>The XCK forms the base of the XcooBee Cookie Plugin for WordPress and makes it easy to enable cookie consent on your website. It handles all user interaction to obtain consent and lets the website know which cookies and scripts can be used for each users while they visit your website. Similarly, your website can now be informed when users change their consent even when they are not visiting it.</p>
<p>The XCK is not just an information overlay. It is an active cookie and consent manager for your site.</p>
<p>The XCK is one of the most transparent and frictionless ways to manage cookies on your site. It will not pop-up, in, or otherwise hinder the user experience when it is not needed. Yet, at the same time, it provides full compliance with European e-directives and related GDPR rules.</p>
<p>Website owners can easily react to data-requests and report on privacy related requests if needed via the XcooBee network.</p>
<p>The XCK does not require a XcooBee connection to work for your website. You will still have access to the majority of user consent gathering but will not have central insight and consent management.</p>
<p>The XCK is responsive and will adjust easily to different screens including mobile uses.</p>

XcooBee GDPR Cookie Manager

Easy and transparent CCPA and GDPR (EU E-Directive) cookie life-cycle consent management for your site and all your plugins with built in support for  …

<p>Many times you have the need to accept and send files securely via your website. The standard upload/download pattern is cumbersome and tends to be insecure, especially when your WordPress is co-hosted with many other sites.<br />
Now, add the new Privacy regulations (GDPR or CCPA) to this mix and you are guaranteed to have a headache on your hands.<br />
Whether it is CAD drawings, contracts or job applications, you need an improved mechanism other than an openly accessible web server or email to securely manage the movement of documents.</p>
<p>The XcooBee Document Add-on handles these and many more document exchange scenarios while guaranteeing file delivery, security and proper privacy compliance.<br />
Since the file transfer is using the XcooBee network it guarantees full privacy and security and encryption at every step including the removal of all data traces shortly after documents have been delivered.</p>
<p>More specifically with this plugin you will be able to:<br />
    – validate that only the designated type of document is accepted<br />
    – accept additional processing data and messages<br />
    – handle large file sizes not possible via email<br />
    – start a custom workflow on the XcooBee network<br />
    – design drop zones on your website to drop off any type of file<br />

<p>The XcooBee Document Plug-in is an Add-on. It requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcoobee/" rel="ugc">XcooBee For WordPress</a> plugin to work correctly. You will need to install it first.</p>
<h3>How to Use</h3>
<p>To work with the document plugin you need to create file upload zones (dropzones) on your pages. You add these dropzones via shortcodes to your pages.<br />
You design the dropzone shortcode in the settings area of this plugin. The settings also is where you can check out all the short-code options and parameters.</p>
<h3>Bee System Names</h3>
<p>In order for the dropzone to be configured correctly you need to designate a XcooBee bee to take on the processing of the documents. A XcooBee bee is like a task manager, it manages the jobs assigned to it. You will need to use the bee-system name as assigned by the XcooBee system.</p>
<p>The easiest way to search for bee system-names is use the Search box in the plugin settings area.</p>
<p>In our example shortcodes we use the “transfer” bee which is responsible for directly delivering files to recipients.</p>
<p>You can <a href="https://app.xcoobee.net/user/beesDetail" rel="nofollow ugc">search XcooBee</a> for more bees and even create your own workflow with your own name assigned to your bee (job). You can find details for each bee including its system-name by looking at the <a href="https://app.xcoobee.net/bee/transfer" rel="nofollow ugc">Bee Details screen</a> and expanding the “Advanced Parameters”.</p>
<h3>Sending Files and Documents</h3>
<p>If you need to send files via XcooBee we expose a quick use function <code>xbee_send_file</code> for all your plugins and your PHP code.<br />
You can use it to send documents securely.<br />
Please note that this will use points as appropriate under your registered API account.</p>
