How to Make Your WordPress Blog Compliant with the 7 Key GDPR Requirements Fast!
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and is a new law passed by the European Union (EU) that mandates every website to follow new requirements.
Non-compliance can mean a fine for violating these requirements and some sources state as high as $20 million.

Here is the basic test:
- Do people from European union visit and interact with your site, if so, you need to be compliant.
- Can people from EU can sign up as a lead, member or customer on your site or give you their data in any other way, you need to be compliant.
- Does your site makes use of any cookies or has any 3rd party integrations that use cookies (Facebook pixel, analytics etc.)
