Hi,
We are considering setting up a forum using vBulletin 5.2.3, but have some legal requirements to meet before we can do so. One of these is to fully understand the use of cookies by the software.
I've been told that it's possible to deactivate all cookies, but I'm somewhat sceptical about this, and I'm not sure what functionality would be lost if we were able to deactivate them. I can't find anywhere in the settings that would allow me to turn them off anyway. Looking at the "Cookies and HTTP Header Options", I only have a setting for Session Timeout and not all of the cookie settings that are listed in the vBulletin help pages. Maybe this is because I just have trial access to the system.
So if we cannot deactivate them, or choose not to turn them off, we need to understand of what cookies the software would place on users' machines. I need to know what the cookies are used for, how they are used, how they appear on computers, and for how long they are held.
Can anyone provide me with this information please?
Many thanks,
Dan
