This website is an independent publication about Purdue, not Purdue itself.
If you're small and running ads, I'm pretty sure you don't want to risk dealing with the significant legal pitfalls of GDPR. They EU isn't your audience, and lawyers that confirm you're in compliance (or not) are expensive.

- mcv 5y agoEverybody who doesn't collect personal data about their visitors is perfectly compliant.
- wizzwizz4 5y agoIndeed.
- trulyme 5y agoThat's a bit of an exaggeration. Those that try to collect as much data as possible data from visitors will of course find it difficult to be compliant, but many do not do this and are therefore in compliance with GDPR. I do find the propaganda against GDPR annoying though. As an EU citizen (and someone who had to make sure we were compliant on multiple projects) I am happy about it. Is it perfect? No. But it's still waaaay better than nothing.
- wizzwizz4 5y ago> but many do not do this and are therefore in compliance with GDPR. Of the parts of the web I frequent? Sure. Most people will never leave the GDPR-violating web most months.
- jaywalk 5y agoIf you're an explicitly US website with no operations abroad, you shouldn't even give the GDPR a second thought. And if that's the case and you also have no operations in California, you should give the CCPA the same treatment.
- kube-system 5y agoI am not sure about Purdue and their affiliation with their student newspaper, but many US universities have operations abroad to some extent, like a recruiting office or something.
