is my website compliant to gdpr?
-
Hi, I would like to know whether my website is compliant to gdpr. I do not have an extra page on privacy policy, but I thought the privacy banner is automatically enabled so that I do not need any extra page. But the cookie & consents banner widget does not appear anywhere, nor can I add it on widget (there is no such thing as cookie & consents banner widget). What shall I do? Thanks in advance!

Hi there, we’re not able to advise whether your WordPress.com site is compliant or not, but this guide will give you more information and recommendations: https://wordpress.com/support/your-site-and-the-gdpr/
You said:

If your site is a free WordPress.com website, this banner will be on by default.
What is the address of the site you need help with?

Hello again, thanks for providing your link. I can confirm that the Privacy & Cookies banner appears at the bottom of my web browser on your site.

Oh thanks for confirming! Do you know whether it can replace a page on the privacy policy, or should I still add the page on my website?

Hello there,
Happy to help you with this.
It is possible to tailor the links and messages in this widget.
Please see how to configure this here: https://wordpress.com/support/cookie-widget/#features
I hope this helps.

Thanks for your answer. I read the page but I am still confused. Is the privacy & cookies banner enough or do I have to creat my own page on privacy policy?

We can’t really offer any legal advice; things may differ from country to country. If you only use the in-built WordPress.com features, the Cookie Widget would probably enough, but you may want to check this page for more information:
