HI, Mauro.

Thank you for contacting us.
You have pay TAX for cookies in Italy??? As far I know we (EU citizens and companies) have to follow EU law regarding this, so we need to inform our users that cookie is used on site (Cookie Policy)... but taxes for cookies? Never heard of.

If you ask if JomSocial... or rather JoomlArt as product owner, creates any cookies, analyze it or gather your user information:

NO , we do not:
- create cookies
- track site data
- gather information
- process site user information
of our customers site.

But please, note that in some cases we ask for access to your site administration area where user data are stored. We are not interested in any user data but potentially we do have access to it. So in accordance with EU GDPR you should create a copy of your site with anonimized user data (no emails or personal info) or create special allowance documents for this occurence.

Thank you very much Michael.
In Italy we have a cookies tax from 2015. It is 150 euro to pay to garante of privacy. It's for profile cookies (for advertising) and for analitics cookies in some case. Thank

HI, Mauro.

Thank you for explaining this. Strange and very restrictive :)
