I am on a private FaceBook page where web designers can talk "around the water cooler" from our generally lonely offices'. Another designer posted the above meme and I could really relate.
Many Joomla! developers are in Europe so perhaps my email inbox was fuller than most, however, any large company that deals with Europe also needed to comply with the new GDPR laws and I received a large amount of updated privacy notices from companies of every size.
The majority of sites I work on are not obligated to abide by this new law. A few did and so I got the opportunity to learn the basics last week (got to love a deadline...)
I used some tools to help.
I generated and then tweaked a privacy policy with this:
https://dsgvo-muster-datenschutzerklaerung.dg-datenschutz.de/?lang=en
I generated and then tweaked a cookie policy with this:
https://cookiepolicygenerator.com/generator
I downloaded and configured this Joomla! GDPR component to mange the policies more easily and keep track of the required user data management tools.
Let me know if you need help with your Joomla! web site and GDPR.
