The rules are actually very simple, you have to obtain a clear, explicit consent given out of a user's own free will to track him, or you're breaking the law. Don't like it? Tough luck.
- whoknowswhat11 5y agoIt's not that simple. If I do a blocking banner that said, we track users on this site to pay for it with ads, click OK or leave - under GDPR there are lots of gotcha's that make this potentially insufficient. I think folks claiming GDPR is "simple" do not understand it - and how complicated it is. We have this for age restricted sites already - if you are under 18 leave, if over 18 continue, content is NSFW. Reddit does the same thing for adult subreddits, you get a popup, this content may be NSFW, if you are at work and will be fire, leave, if not click through if you want - you've been warned. This model however may NOT be permitted under GDPR which has a TON more requirements on tracking consent, recordkeeping for consent, versioning of disclosures, tracking versioned disclosures to consent identifiers tied to other identifiers etc. If you violate any of this you are breaking the law, are committing crimes, and may need to pay $20M or a % of turnover whichever is GREATER!
