GDPR Notice

GDPR Notice will help you to make your site more GDPR compliant by informing the user of the use of external services when they first visit your website. You can add your own customized entries that will be displayed to the user.

If you website is using external serivces like Google Fonts and especially Google Analytics, the GDPR requires that users have to give their consent before any data is transferred to the external service.

With each retrieval of files from external servers (servers other than the one on which your website is running), it is technically possible to log which IP address the user of your site has, which browser on which operating system they use and many other things. This is also the case when using jQuery or Bootstrap, to name a few, from CDNs. And exactly such downloads and the resulting possibility of logging data your user must be able to disagree with.

In order to use your website, in the free version the user must agree to use all external services.

With GDPR Notice Pro, the user can also select which external services they want to allow and this plugin then removes any external styles, scripts and iframes that the user does not allow. This is necessary to prevent your website from being warned about the no-go policy.

IMPORTANT: This plugin can not and will not guarantee 100% compliance with GDPR. We can not ascertain that no other plugins run before this one and transfer data to external services without the user’s approval. This plugin is intended to help you make your site GDPR compliant, it is not a cure-all! Ultimately it is your responsibility to make sure your site complies with GDPR.
