Default Re: Gdpr - upcoming law for European merchants

Just for the record, I do indeed know that Google has a European presence

I was being 'Tongue in cheek'

My point is that this whole GDPR issue has far reaching effect.

As Steve has pointed out: -

Quote:
In this essence if your site is running Google Analytics for example, which will collect visitors data regardless of if you do business with EU or not, you have to comply.
If you have FB Like or Share on the site - you have to comply.

These scripts collect visitors data just by browsing your site, or interact with the feature, so disabling EU countries so visitors cannot purchase is not enough. ( post 31 elmirage001 )

How on earth are companies thinking that they can "opt out" just because they don't like the idea? The likes of Google and FB have you trapped into having to comply!

Just saying...

I have now got my coat and hat on...

Regards

ITVV
