Magento – Please replace this text with your Privacy Policy

By April 30, 2015No Comments

After updating Magento to v1.9.1.0 I noticed that the default Privacy Policy page had changed. Many sites had used this cms page as it called in the company name, store address and some generic privacy information.

However, Magento has made strides for store owners to at least review this page by add a red notice at the top ;

Please replace this text with you Privacy Policy.

Please add any additional cookies your website uses below (e.g., Google Analytics)

NB. The use of ‘you’ instead of your Privacy Policy is a typo on Magento’s side.

This only affects sites using the default privacy policy cms page, but doing a quick Google search reveals there are quite a few Magento v1.9 sites out there with the default page text (39,500,000 results).

Please replace this text with you Privacy Policy

Here’s what the full code snippet looks like, found in CMS > Page, with the URL key privacy-policy-cookie-restriction-mode.

<p style="color: #ff0000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px">
    Please replace this text with you Privacy Policy.
    Please add any additional cookies your website uses below (e.g., Google Analytics)
</p>

Hopefully this will help other Magento website owners out there.
