The GDPR settings page in your BeDesk admin area provides essential tools to help you comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This guide will walk you through configuring the cookie consent notice and setting up registration policies for your users.
To get started, navigate to the GDPR configuration page:
Log in to your BeDesk admin area.
From the left-hand sidebar, click on Settings.
In the settings menu, select GDPR.
You will now see the main GDPR settings page, divided into two sections: Cookie Notice and Registration Policies.
This section allows you to configure the cookie consent banner that is shown to visitors from the European Union.
Toggle this switch on to activate and display the cookie notice on your help center. If it's off, no notice will be shown.
This configures the link or button on the cookie notice that directs users to your detailed policy. You can link to an external url, custom page created in BeDesk or one of the urls within BeDesk itself.
Select the position where the cookie banner will appear on the screen.
This section allows you to create and manage policies that users must accept before they can complete the registration process. This is typically used for your Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or other agreements.
To add a new policy, click the + Add another policy link. An "Add policy" window will appear. You have three types of links you can create for a policy:
This option is for linking to an external URL. This is useful if your policy is hosted on your main company website or another location outside of BeDesk.
Adding a policy with a custom link.
Label: The text that will appear next to the checkbox, describing the policy (e.g., "I agree to the Terms of Service").
Url: The full URL of the policy page.
This option allows you to link to an internal page within your BeDesk application, such as your contact page or a default application page.
Adding a policy using an internal route.
Select Route from the dropdown menu.
You can then search for and select an existing application path (e.g., /contact, /register).
This option allows you to link to a custom page that you have created from admin area in BeDesk.
Adding a policy using a custom page.
Select Custom Page from the dropdown menu.
Search for and select the title of the custom page you want to link to (e.g., "Example Privacy Policy").
Once you have added all the necessary registration policies, they will appear as required checkboxes on your user registration form.
After you have configured the cookie notice and registration policies to your liking, make sure to click the Save changes button at the top-right corner of the page to apply your settings.
