Coming soon to version 11: Advanced controls for child privacy

Hello!

Online child privacy is becoming more and more of a concern that legally must be followed by webmasters. As such, I am evolving the tools available in Composr to help address legal compliance.

For starters, it is typically the case that you must follow the laws governing the region in which the *user* is located, not the website. And this can get very complicated to configure. But thanks to this new XML framework, you can configure parental settings based on region.

See the attached screenshot for an example XML that will define different age thresholds for when a new member must get parental consent to use your site. In version 10, there was one universal setting for age. Now, you can conform to different regional laws.

Over time, additional tools will be implemented in this system aside from parental consent. Please tell me what you think!

  • Need support for version 10? The core development team is no-longer offering it for free (unless it's a critical bug that breaks your entire site or a serious security hole). Please consider hiring me instead if you need v10 support or a non-critical bug fix. Or, ask the community in the forums!
  • Do you enjoy Composr? Please consider contributing your talent to the project or recommending Composr to others. Even small contributions make a big impact in the Composr community.
  • Do you have feedback for us? You can report bugs, suggest features, or give feedback on the Free support options page.
  • Do you need professional service with your Composr website? Please consider contracting me for your needs through my company, PDStig, LLC. Doing so will also help fund Composr development.
  • Want to watch live streams of me developing Composr CMS? Please subscribe to me on Twitch to be notified when I stream. Composr development streams are usually spontaneous / not scheduled in advance as work priorities come first.
