You must have noticed that you’ve been receiving several emails from reputed websites that they are changing their privacy policy. The first email I received from was Google, and then I’ve started to get more emails from various websites like Dailymotion, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, and others.
The sudden changes made by companies aren’t coincident because a rule has passed, which made companies make compliance changes to their privacy policy. The privacy policy changes are made because of GDPR rules.
What is GDPR?
The European Union (EU) enables citizens of the country to maintain their privacy from personal information or individual information collection companies. It is magnificent guidelines that keep big-time players in check, but it is the first step.
It is mandatory that every website, blog, online service, and others have to create, edit, and maintain a GDPR compliance website, or else, you can sue for it.
According to strong sources, 26.7% of websites on the World Wide Web run on WordPress. Unfortunately, the majority of the website founders have nothing to zero knowledge of GDPR compliance, which can land them in trouble with “The European Union” EU.
Now, how do you make a GDPR compliance website? Major changes in your site won’t make a difference if you don’t know the rules.

Wizard 0: Click on Complianz > Wizard.
Wizard 1: In the first row, you have, if you want to add a privacy policy or not. It’s your call! And, the second one also asks you whether you would like to add a disclaimer page or not. Again, it’s your call. I prefer you to add both pages because every website should have these pages. Now, click NEXT!
Wizard 2: In the first, you have explained the status of the security by theme security breach. In the second, you have to tell, if the content on the website is self-generated, or someone else. If you are a blogger, then it is your content.
If you are a blogger who generates content based on stories, then it is your content. You get two more options to tell the world about the content generated by you or someone else.
Wizard 3: Let the plugin detect it for you, but you should do a safety check on the plugin and add it to the cookie policy.
Wizard 4: Let the plugin do an automatic scan on cookies, but you can also re-scan it to make sure that nothing has changed or modified.
Wizard 5: If you use Google Analytics, then select the third option for the first question. If you use statistical cookies, then click on YES. Make sure to read the rest of the three questions properly, and then choose your answer correctly.
Once you have answered every question, then you can click on SAVE to complete the process.
You also get one more option “COOKIE WARNING” that lets you control and warm cookies to the users. You must always take permission from the readers or users before collecting their information. Mention what you collect and use the information in the Disclaimer and Privacy policy in simple language.
Conclusion
Major companies on purpose, robotic-ally write their privacy policy, which makes it difficult for an average person to understand. But, you have to make sure they know what you are collecting and going to use it. Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
