# System - Global Privacy Control - - Joomla! 4 - Joomla! 5 - Joomla! 6 - [ plugin ](/content-tags/plugin) - [ system ](/content-tags/system) - [ Privacy ](/content-tags/privacy) - [ Legal Compliance ](/content-tags/legal-compliance) - [ consent ](/content-tags/consent) ![System - Global Privacy Control](https://cdn.richeyweb.com/images/articles/plg_system_globalprivacycontrol/global-privacy-control.webp) - [JED: System - Global Privacy Control](https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/site-management/browsers-a-web-standards/system-global-privacy-control/) - [globalprivacycontrol.org](https://globalprivacycontrol.org/) Respect privacy choices without losing visitors Your website shows ads and tracking to everyone - even people who've explicitly said "don't track me." That's not just annoying, it's illegal in California and getting illegal everywhere else. System - Global Privacy Control automatically detects when visitors don't want tracking and turns it off for them. You stay legal, they stay happy, and it all happens invisibly. Overview--- ## PROOF ### It Works, Quietly - Legally recognized: Required by California law (CCPA) since 2020 - Browser-supported: Works with Firefox, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and Privacy Badger - No user complaints: Visitors never see it, never interact with it - Free forever: Downloaded from the Joomla Extension Directory ## How It Works When someone visits your site, their browser tells you if they want tracking or not. System - Global Privacy Control listens for this signal and automatically shows or hides your tracking tools based on what they chose. The visitor never fills out a form or clicks a button—their browser preference is respected automatically. Your Google Analytics sees people who said "yes," and doesn't see people who said "no." ## Feature List - Invisible to visitors - They never see a popup, banner, or button. Their browser does the talking. - Works for everyone - Logged-in users and random visitors both get their privacy respected. - Legal compliance built-in - Required by California law, recognized in Colorado, Connecticut, and spreading worldwide. - No tracking cookies needed - The plugin itself doesn't track anything or set cookies. - Integrates with consent tools - Works alongside the [System - EU e-Privacy Directive](/software/joomla/plugins/system-eu-e-privacy-directive) plugin. ## Frequently Asked Questions: Is this hard to set up?You need to create one access level in Joomla and assign your tracking tools to it. Most people finish setup in 15-20 minutes. The documentation walks you through each step. Will I lose all my analytics?No. You only hide tracking from people who explicitly opted out. Most visitors (80-90%) don't send the opt-out signal, so your analytics stay mostly intact while you stay legal. What if my visitors' browsers don't support this?If their browser doesn't send the signal, tracking stays on by default. You're only turning things OFF for people who actively chose to opt out.
