Hello,

the GDPR gives all European (and I think also many other webmasters) a lot of headeache and costs a huge amount of time to even try to comply.

One possible outcome of the legal battles just beginning (may I do this or that or not …) with the pressure of huge fines is to get PRIOR consent of visitor. I see first implementations of this on some websites, where first the visitor has to agree to privacy policy BEFORe anything interesting is loaded.

This will also become an isse when the great EU next year publishes its e-privavcy rules… concerning esp. cookies…

So for many of my websites I would love to use all I need (google maps, facebook etc…), but before anything is loaded I ask my visitor to acknowledger my privacy policy (which on click on link opens in new tab, but loads only the text in ie. Arial) … when user gives his consent by clicking the “I agree” checkbox, the website loads normally. If he is not fine with it, he may check another website

To me – am no lawyer – that would make me sleep better and I would use it for most of my sites until the dust of this battle has settled
