User Documentation Joomla includes a built-in Privacy Tool Suite for handling data protection requests — letting site visitors ask for their personal data to be exported or deleted, and giving administrators a structured way to process those requests. This section covers setting the tools up, the request-and-response workflow, and how Joomla handles cookie notices.
- Privacy Outline – What the Privacy Tool Suite is and how it fits together: information requests, consent management, and data export or deletion.
- Privacy Setup – Configuring the privacy features, including the registration consent plugin, the information-request menu item, and the administrator tools that process requests.
- Privacy Workflow – How a data request actually gets handled, from a visitor's initial request and email confirmation through to a super user exporting or anonymising their data.
- Cookies – How Joomla sites use cookies for things like sessions and login preferences, and the options for notifying visitors about it.
