   Seems it is the lengthy process to correct all the checks against each clause, do we have any plugin available to do correction across the WordPress blog?

   Yanıtla

   This is impossible to enforce.

   Who is going to go around and check if every single site is following this?

   What are newbie website owners going to do?

   It is hard enough to create a website and get a few people to come and read, and now you also have to deal with rubbish like this?

   To put it in plain English, the EU intended that big giants like Google and FB don’t screw with data.

   This law is not for the average Joe. There are hundreds of laws ordinary people break everyday by visiting simple websites, and doing simple thing online. Nobody can enforce laws like GDPR on small business owners.

   If you’re getting big, you definitely need to comply, it also makes sense, if you’re bigger, you have more resources.

   I doubt if this GDPR can be enforced for small businesses, does the EU plan on going after every single small website?

   I’m not based in the EU, this regulation does not apply to me, at least not at this level (I’m a small business).

   Even if it does apply, I can’t make any changes for every single regulation that comes about in different countries.

   I’d like to see how this plays out over the years, it is primarily meant for giants, not for ordinary people.

   The Ginger plugin works, it is simple to use and will block 3rd party cookies if the user wishes to not accept cookies but still see the website in question.

   Hello, I use Iubenda to manage my Privacy Policy, the page is not physically on our website, it’s hosted on Iubenda.com. There’s no option to add a link to an external link.

7. owolabi Thankgod

   I was sent a message by google that I should log into my adsense account and accept their new privacy policy and I have done that

   Is this same as GDPR because I am getting increasingly confused after reading this article

   Please what am I to do to make my wordpress site GDPR complaint because as for me, i have not done anything whatsoever.

8. Guust

   The article says there are fines for companies, so what if my business is not carried on by a company?
   And what about hobby websites and blogs, as in non-business websites?

   Either the article is not complete or misleading?
   Can you clarify?
   Thanks

   Thank you for your informative article. I have a question in regard to a blog I write. I have a self hosted Wordpress site with a Divi theme. It is not a business, no marketing, no advertising – purely sharing a personal journey. I do offer people the opportunity to receive a notice when the next post is up. Their name and email address is stored in Aweber. Do I have to have Privacy notice etc for GDPR compliance?

    I disagree with assuming the EU can dictate to a business without a physical location in an EU country. This is a sovereignty issue most US citizens would have issue with like the tea tax which basically started the American colonies fight for independence. The EU cannot globally criminalize an action they do not like and penalize a US citizen, or other citizen outside their umbrella of power, based on such action. To say they can is the height of socialist arrogance.

    Nor does the EU have dominion over the internet. If they do not like the way the rest of the world does business they are free to lock their coddled citizens in a make believe world much like the Chinese do.

      True indeed but then there is DMCA which is an American law designed to protect copyright that people also follow regardless of soveriegnty. And Americans seem not to fight paying tax abroad even when their physical location and employment does not fall under American jurisdiction.

      Yanıtla

    • Geoff

      Of course the EU can criminalise certain actions globally.

      Currently – The sale of illicit goods to the EU can be made illegal and any EU police force make arrests for certain actions carried out by people entering the EU.

      The point is, this is a step towards protecting the data of anyone residing within the EU (even non-EU nationals). If a US based organisation releases data that is personal to me for their own gain or because they did not protect it properly – they should be penalised.

      Yanıtla

    • Nathan

      Yes! I thought I was the only one who’s thinking this way. Is there a legal precedent for something like this? A citizen from the EU visits my site and all of the sudden they have the right to legislate what I can and can’t do? I think everyone is jumping on the GDPR train because it means more work (i.e. more money) for developers. Is anyone else willing to just say that the emperor doesn’t have any clothes?

      Yanıtla

    • Tony Tremblay

      I don’t think they will go after anyone outside the Euro zone. What they could do howerver is force Google to integrate them in the search engine ranking factors. This way, every website could be affected…

12. John

    Can we choose to block business in Europe? There’d be ZERO reason for me to even come up over there… I don’t even want their money!

    Yanıtla

    • Magrt

      Sadly that’s more problems for you.
      Apparently EU has a rule, that will take effect this year that prohibits geoblocking. Am not a lawyer but basically that rule will prevent you from blocking out EU members from your site and attract fines .

      Yanıtla

    • Bill

      Yes John, you most certainly can block all EU based traffic and forget the whole mess.

    Thanks for the detailed guide.
    But I feel you missed Google Adsense part.

    For EU users, we need to get consent for personalized/non-personalized ads.

    It would be really helpful for people if you update the article with the changes we need to make with Adsense.

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Amar,

      AdSense has issues GDPR related guidelines for publishers. Basically, you will need to disclose your ads in the privacy policy and cookie usage. You will need to show a cookie popup to get user consent.

    Well that’s just brilliant. In order to eliminate spam, they have now set it up so every website, that I have ever sent my email to, anywhere in the world is going to email me some kind of spam about their “new privacy rules”. Idiots.

    Thank you so much for putting this together! It’s been a big help. I just run a personal blog but have managed to change a few of my plugins to be more compliant. I need to look at monster insights about their free version of their addon, but I think for the most part I should be fine.

    Cheers to you all! Take care of yourselves.

    “If your website has visitors from European Union countries, then this law applies to you.”

    Correction, “If your website has visitors from European Union countries, then this law applies to THEM.”

    This article makes no reference to which countries have treaties with the EU that would allow the EU to usurp their sovereignty to enforce, prosecute, and fine people within them, for having the “wrong check boxes” in their contact forms.

    The EU doesn’t get to swallow the earth like some amoeba. I am neither a citizen, serf, nor resident of the EU. My websites are all hosted in non-EU countries. If you can show me the list of countries that have signed on to a treaty to allow the EU to prosecute people for non-GDPR-approved check boxes within their borders, I’ll consider choosing or updating my own plugins/contact forms, thank you very much, or updating my .htaccess to block all EU IP addresses from visiting.

    And that’s how it’s played.

    Yanıtla

    • Jean Jeudi

      Good to know that your site can do without visitor from Europe. I reckon your are not providing important services or goods. Maybe you should read a bit more what the EU requires from companies tar getting European customers. Most of the topics are common sense e.g not to share information you receive with third parties without a previous approval. Similar laws exist ever since for sharing photos showing third parties in social media.
      I know that I am already a transparent person thanks to google and friends but at least I want to have the right to check what they have collected on me and to stop distribution of this information

      Yanıtla

    • Geoff

      I’m afraid the EU does… if you want to play fast and loose with personal data, feel you have a right to send me crap emails me if I didn’t sign up, store information about me with permission, release information about me to 3rd parties (intentionally or not)… then you shouldn’t have a website.

    Great article, I will certainly try to find it and refer to it if I ever need to worry about this.
    But since you say that worst case, i will first be given a warning, I will focus on other things and be motivated by real 3rd degree urgency then instead of spending hours now – a few hours before the “deadline” – for something that will probably never affect me.
    Sorry chums, this sounds like Bug2000’s little brother.

    First off, thank you for explaining this so simply!

    Second, a question. I have a small self-hosted WP blog and I send new posts and updates to my readers but don’t sell them anything at this point. I’m using the Mailmunch plug in for opt-in forms, integrated with my Mailchimp email list.

    If I enable double-opt in for my email newsletter opt-in forms, do I need to also have legal language on each of those opt-in forms specifically stating that users information will be stored in my email marketing client and that they can unsubscribe at any time? Or is the double opt-in sufficient to be compliant? Should I perhaps include storage information in a privacy policy also/instead?

    Thanks!

    Fantastic article! Luckily we’ve already implemented most of what you suggest for both ourselves and our clients, but we had a very longwinded way of getting there. It would have been so much quicker and easier if we’d read your clear and straightforward article first! WordPress seems to have been a bit late to the party in terms of GDPR compliance but at least we’re there now – just in the nick of time!

    The Cookie Notice plugin is NOT GDPR compliant – not even compliant with current cookie legislation in the EU.

    Before you set a cookie you have to have consent – Cookie Notice does not support the blocking of cookies at all.

    Hi, this is an excellent article and a great practical and respectful approach to GDPR.

    I’m a 58 year old Danish business lawyer with a lifetime corporate background in European medico industry and having gone olderpreneur with my husband 4 years ago. So I KNOW about European data protection from the early 2000 days.

    Now, I’m getting a grip on GDPR for our website and SaaS application to make sure we’re compliant. And your article turned out to be the perfect place to start.

    So thanks, and a good day to you.

    Thank you for this. I’ve been trying to prepare for GDPR for months, and I thought I’d considered every aspect. It’s reassuring to see I’m about 90% clear, but your piece has pointed me to one or two things I missed. (Check box for the contact form!)

    I still don’t really understand how the Wordpress data handling features work though. They don’t seem to help me find all the data (IP addresses?) that visitors may have left. As far as I can see I’m going to have to manually remove comments (with associated e-mail addresses) for anyone who asks. Is that right?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi John,

      Yes. Your privacy policy page should have a form where users can request access to their data and ask for its complete removal.
