EU regulations #1

Open vinicius-cleves opened 4 years ago

I haven't thought about any website regulations like cookie warnings. I have included some basic analytics, just to see how many people visit the website and what region they click on. Google analytics places some cookies, so I believe EU requires the website to have a notice.

I am also not sure if this qualifies as user data or not.

We have to take take of this subject before bringing the website online

By EU policy (General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR), it is not enough to inform that cookies are being collected, you must have an option to consent to cookies. Still, even if the person denies cookies, a set of minimum services must be released.

There are ready-made solutions written in js, such as: https://www.eucookie.eu/

We would have to add that on the website, and think about what these minimum services would be, or not collect cookies.
