CROSSPOSTED FROM YABBFORUM
It's new, it's exiting, it's in most new browsers ...... and it is a major pain in the ass for most board/website owners.
Here's how you make your site/ board P3P valid (Privacy Policy)
You need to do some work to get it done, but at least your browser will not complain about it anymore.
In your webroot (the same place where you have your yabbfiles dir) create two new dirs:
1. Create a dir called /w3c
Inside this dir there is a file called p3p.xlm which holds the reference to your privacy policy statement
This files could look like this:
And shows the browser where the real policy xml set is found (in this example in a dir called privacy in the file policy.xml)
The anchor refers to the first policy set inside this xml file (you could have multiple policies for different parts of your site).
Ok, one down, two to go:
2. Create another dir (in the example /privacy but this could be called whatever you like as long as you refer to it in the p3p.xml file).
Inside this dir you must at least have one xml file (called privacy.xml in the example, but again this name is free to choose as long as the reference is set to it in p3p.xml)
This xml file should at least have the following elements:
http://www.w3.org/2002/01/P3Pv1">

This is only the xml file that gives the users browser an idea what kind of stuff is requested and what it is used for.
So in order to make it complete you also need a human readable policy declaration.
