What is a WiFi captive portal?

The WiFi captive portal we offer is the gateway to the client WiFi network. It is a connection web page to which users are automatically directed and identify themselves to access the network. Several authentication methods are available (e-mail, connection codes, sponsor, etc.), enabling you to control access to the network. The WiFi captive portal adapts to your brand (logo, colours, image) for a personalised experience and is displayed in the appropriate language, depending on the customer's nationality.

About the Wifirst captive portal

The first time a user connects to an establishment's client WiFi network, they are automatically directed to a page known as a "captive portal" or "splash screen". The portal allows users to accept the terms of use and confidentiality policy, to request personal information or to pay for access to a paid WiFi service.

Benefits of the WiFi captive portal

The WiFi captive portal fulfills essential roles in granting access to the network:

  • Compliance with the legal obligations laid down by GDPR (recording and storage of connection logs, handling of judicial requisitions and compliant data processing) 
  • User authentication with a range of access options (email, connection code, sponsor, purchase of online offers, etc.) 
  • Security thanks to partitioning between users to protect data confidentiality 
  • Customer information thanks to the collection of customer data on the WiFi captive portal, adhering to GDPR guidelines, for marketing purposes.

For all these reasons, incorporating a WiFi captive portal into your establishment offers a smart solution for securing network access!

Additionally, there are options for communicating with your customers via a personalised welcome message (configurable from Wifirst Center), activating a chat module to respond to queries, redirecting the user (via a URL) to the site of your choice or displaying your technical support number.
