I think that the basic issue here regarding privacy is that only the ones breaking it are writting. There are literally millions that wont give upvote but want it. Google and Facebook already launched their lobbyists there and are trying to

Look, GDPR is not about technical means, it is about a concept. If the ICO proves to you that you are conceptually violating the GDPR by enabling 3rd party to violate it and you don't have your back covered, you wont have much to defen

You don't understand it. It is your site, your users. If you enable 3rd party illegal tracking of your users by ANY means, it is your responsability too. To cover your back, you need to sign a legally valid contract (or they need to se

That is exactly I was afraid of, google will have hard time defending this. Check my post below, I would be glad if you have some idea, but as far as I am concerned, anonymising IP to keep getting uniform result is tehnically impossible.

Yes, you are right, the opt-out is violating GDPR (unless it is about changing mind after giving opt-in - this is again required and must be as easy as giving consent), you have to be preticked to "not giving consent" and user mus

May I ask how GA anonymizes ip address? What algorythm do they have in place as doing sha-x over 4 numbers (0-255 with skipping some) separates by dots is reversable in seconds on average pc and I wouldn't call it anonymization, rather

In victorian era, asbestos was used as a gods gift. Like plastic today, blooming bussiness. When they figured out that it hurts people, they forbid it. And? What's your point? Business will transform and something else will bring money

That is actually an excelent question! The high quality news will be gladly paid for, while there will be far less clickbait sites as the ads revenues will drop. We will have less garbage on the internet and this is actually great, on the o

But there is not going to be a pulic outcry, I was asking people around, also those that were using the "I have nothing to hide" phrase in past and they are all satisfied with the GDPR. People want this, also in US, but there it w

Let me shed some light into this: I am having my own mail server and I am using a separate mail address (and now it will be close to 10 years of doing that) for every registration to any website, lets say domain_url@mydomain.com. As you can

May I ask what is not clear to you? I can try to help. As I can see it, it very simple, it is same thing as with borrowing someones car: - personal data (car) are any data that have potential identifying a person - person owns its data (car

Yeah but what they actually do is removing themself from market place. If I were looking for a startup, I would check for someone banning EU users, with prospective idea and copy what they have done, but GDPR oriented and voila, I am first

Well, we can't be much smarter than this, we will see, but I am more concerned about this than GDPR on its own.

Yes, I understood your point, but I think you are struggling with mine, you might not offer goods to EU, but your ads provider might. And by feeding it with GDPR protected data it might sue you, on local courts, just for the PR reasons or s

Exactly this is the problem of GDPR, user can lie, and you have no passive defense against it, you can't even make an excuse, you didn't know. You shouldn't even offer him a choice. The only defense is that the user gives you

Yes, but doesn't the checkbox you mentioned, does exactly that, force the users to ignore their rights for the sake of using your site? If this would be acceptable, it would put GDPR into position of cookie law nonsense and if I unders

Hm, that seems like a good advice, I was thinking about that too, and came to quite tricky problem, hypothetical situation: EU user uses technical measures (or just click the checkbox) to circumvent your blocking and then sues your ads prov

Think about this (and GDPR) for a second: “The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits national origin discrimination. Often that means banning polices that have a disproportionate advantage for people from certain countries.” US, you might than

I don't think that it relates to you, but maybe just for others: "better user expirience" is not something without it your website could work. If this means handling PI (for analytics (GA way, not local) for instance), you ca
