Comment Privacy & Moderation

Who can comment?

🌐 Anyone (anonymous) ✅ Registered users (Google account) 🔒 Only blog members

Limiting to registered users drastically reduces spam and protects privacy.

Comment moderation

🛡️ Always (review every comment) ⏱️ Sometimes (after X days) ❌ Never (auto-publish)

Moderation protects readers from offensive content. You can also receive email alerts.

Word verification (CAPTCHA)

✔️ Show word verification for comments

Blocks automated bots. Recommended if you keep “Anyone can comment” enabled.

🔒

HTTPS & Secure Connection

HTTPS Redirect

🔐 Enable HTTPS redirect (Recommended) ⚠️ Disable (less secure)

✅ Always keep HTTPS ON. It encrypts data between your readers and the blog, improving trust and Google ranking.

Blogger automatically provides a free SSL certificate. This setting enforces the secure version.

GDPR & Cookie Consent (EU Privacy)

Cookie consent banner

If you use Google AdSense, analytics, or embedded content, you must inform visitors about cookies and get consent.

✅ Activate cookie banner (using external widget) ❌ Don't show / I don't target EU users

⚙️ How to add: Use a free GDPR consent service (e.g., CookieYes, Osano) and paste their script into your Blogger theme → Edit HTML right before </head>.

⚠️ If you have readers from Europe, a cookie banner is required by law when using ad networks or tracking.

📊

Analytics & Data Tracking

Google Analytics / Tracking codes

To understand your audience, you can add Google Analytics. This collects anonymized visitor data.

📈 Enable analytics (add tracking ID) 🙈 Disable (no tracking)
