A user is looking for a plugin that ensures their blog is GDPR compliant, specifically addressing cookie management and user data requests.
Hi, I am starting up a technical blog which will be hosted using Wordpress.com (with a custom .com / .co.uk URL) The blog's content will be around databases and operating systems. I don't intend for the blog to be interactive- just "flat" informational articles - no comments section, no user login. I have added a cookie banner to the site via a wordpress plugin What do I need to do to ensure the blog is GDPR compliant? I believe "by default" that information classed as personal is stored by Wordpress itself - cookies etc. I also saw something about linking to other sites (which I may do - references etc) and you need to state that these sites may collect personal info. From my reading it looks like you need to inform the user what is stored about them and provide a way for them to contact you and request it be deleted. If I don't really know what wordpress stores about the user, how can I delete it if requested? I see Wordpress provides a "canned" privacy Policy page, is this sufficient? The policy it provides links to the automattic privacy Policy. The text also refers to things that I will not be providing in my site such as Media uploads / password resets etc. I am confused, given all my site will seemingly be collecting is cookies, what do I need to do to be compliant? Is the off the shelf Wordpress wording enough? Thanks in advance
