You're right, if a EU resident decides to visit your website and you're tracking them (Google Analytics etc) you have to comply with GDPR when handling his/her data. The IP block has a logic to it because the law applies to people in the EU rather than EU citizens.
- filoleg 8y agoReally? I was under the impression that it applies to EU residents, regardless of where they are accessing the website from.
- downandout 8y agoThis is technically true, however if the site is not targeting EU residents, the traffic is supposed to be considered incidental and the GDPR is not supposed to apply.
- nickserv 8y agoIt's the other way around. The law protects according to point of access (EU soil), not according to nationality. So an American tourist in France would be protected, but not a French tourist in the US. This is just like most laws, when you're a tourist in a foreign country you have to follow the local laws, not the ones from your passport country.
