This policy describes restrictions for websites managed by the ASF or hosted on ASF servers.

1) Analytics

All analytics software embedded on a website needs to be approved by V.P. Data Privacy before its installation or use. Analytics software needs to support the GDPR and a DPA (Data Privacy Agreement) needs to be signed before it can be used.

Note: Google Analytics cannot be used on any ASF website because of the Schrems-II data privacy verdict.

2) YouTube

YouTube content can be embedded only when the creator has given consent before loading any file from YouTube.

3) Cookies

No cookies are allowed, except if the user must give consent before the website sets the cookie.

If the cookie is not used for tracking, but used for managing a browser session, no user consent is necessary.

4) Using Assets from other Domains

Assets (JavaScript files or snippets, images, fonts, CSS, etc.) from other domains cannot be loaded. All assets need to be hosted on ASF servers.

5) (Google) Maps

(Google) Maps can usually be used, if the site user gives consent before the first time a map loads.

Social Media buttons (Facebook Like, showing Instagram embeds, Twitter pixel) can only be used when the site user gives consent before the buttons load.

7) Facebook Pages
