GDPR applies to all organizations globally that collect or process data relating to individuals in the EU.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that came into effect in 2018. It is designed to empower individuals regarding their data and reshape the way organizations approach data privacy.
Why GDPR Compliance Matters
Ensuring GDPR compliance is not merely about avoiding legal repercussions; it’s about respecting your users’ privacy and establishing a transparent relationship. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines and damage to your reputation.
Cookie Consent
One of the key requirements of GDPR is to ask visitors’ consent for data processing. Websites, in general, ask for visitors’ consent through cookie consent notices. There are several WordPress plugins that can help you with that.

How to display the Google cookie message?
Google Consent Mode allows your website to run Google services based on user consent status without sending personal data to Google. It governs the behavior of all Google tags and scripts on your website according to user consent sent by your consent management platform.
If you already run Google Adsense ads on your site (and you have Google code added to your pages) you can enable the Cookie banner automatically from your Adsense profile.
