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 )

Thank you Steve for the info! I was in the process of reading the email I receive from Google. We are fortunate that we dominate our niche and don't rely on FB and haven't looked at GA in many months. We do spend time on SEMRUSH every day.
