A real world case of needing specific GDPR requirements covered

[paaljoachim]

Hi

This is a real world case which I would like to make into a tutorial for my WordPress tutorial site here:
https://easywebdesigntutorials.com/ (I could use some advice on setting things up to cover the needed requirements.)

This means using the Complianz free and/or Pro plugin to setup the needed requirements listed below.
I believe this could be a good help for general users in showing a real case email and how I solved the needed requirements.

How I setup the Complianz plugin and also what comments/questions I end up sending to the EU User Consent Policy Team.

Dear  Advertiser

On May 25, 2018, we updated Google’s EU User Consent Policy to coincide with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into force. This Policy outlines your responsibility for making disclosures to, and obtaining consent from, end users of your sites and apps in the European Economic Area [EEA] along with the UK.

It has come to our attention that the attached site(s)/app(s) do not comply with our Policy, because they:

• do not seek to obtain consent from users, and/or

• do not correctly disclose which third parties (including Google) will also have access to the user data that you collect on your site/app. You can view these controls and the list of ad technology providers in your Ad Manager], AdSense or Admob account.

• do not otherwise meet the requirements of Google's EU User Consent Policy.

If you have guidance or confirmation from a Data Protection Authority that the domains listed do not require a consent notice or that they otherwise already comply with applicable privacy laws, including GDPR, please contact us. We will review any guidance you have received from a regulatory body and take action accordingly.

Action Needed

Please check the site(s) or app(s) listed in the attached file and take action to ensure they comply with our Policy. We will re-review your site(s) or app(s) regularly and monitor your account. We may take action, including suspension, if the Policy violations have not been resolved by Jun 28, 2023.

Policy Requirements

• | Obtain EEA along with UK end users’ consent to:
○ | the use of cookies or other local storage where legally required; and

Hi @paaljoachim, it sounds as if you are using Adsense, without using TCF, which has to be enabled in Complianz. If I remember correctly you have received a premium license from us right?

Please email aert(at)really-simple-plugins.com so he can help you set it up.

I believe you are correct @rlankhorst
I just emailed Aert. Thank you!

It will also be very helpful that I really go through the current plugin so that I have some of the UI in the back of my mind when I test out the new version when it reaches beta. Have a continued beautiful day!
