[GeoNetwork-users] GeoNetwork cookies

Hi,

today (25.05.2018) the European "General Data Protection Regulation" will be applied. Therefore, I would like to know what data is stored in the cookies of GeoNetwork. Is this information documented somewhere?

Regards
Timo

Hi

I don't think are documented, but doing some tests these seem the main
cookies stored:

- JSESSIONID, it's used to identify the user session in the server.
- serverTime, sessionExpire to track expire session message for logged
users.
- XSRF-TOKEN to prevent Cross-site request forgery attacks
- cookiesAccepted to track the acceptance of the cookies message.
- basketAnonymousUserlist: To track for anonymous users the list of
metadata in the basket (GN 3.4.x), logged users store this info in the
server session afaik.

*As far as I know (but would be good to confirm also by other developers) *no
user personal data should be stored in the cookies apart of the JSESSIONID
used to identify the user session in the server.

Geonetwork stores in the database some data about the users, please check
the following tables in the database: Users, Groups,
GUF_UserFeedbacks, Address and Email, as this information is relevant for
GDPR. I think I don't forget any relevant table, but a check to the other
tables can be relevant also.

Regards,
Jose García

Hi All,

We've been looking into this for GDPR too. The other thing of interest are
the IP addresses stored for search statistics, and access logs on the
server. This can't be tied to specific users (I don't think) but we've
chosen to declare that it's done anyway. We've modified the cookie notice
and the home page to link to our privacy policy too.
