The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was introduced to unify all EU member states’ approaches to data regulation, ensuring all data protection laws are applied identically in every country within the EU. It will protect EU citizens from organisations using their data irresponsibly and puts them in charge of what information is shared, where and how it’s shared.

Making a site GDPR-compliant can be a “little tricky” (GDPR is massive regulation consisting of 88 pages of legal text!) but if you use WordPress as a content manager, a good start can be installing the WordPress GDPR Framework.

It provides all the base features to make a WordPress site GDPR-compliant. This includes manual and automatic data download, export, anonymization and deletion, tracking and withdrawing consent, a privacy policy generator and more.
