There's a isEuMember(), which I've used to detect if a user is from an EU country and mark accordingly for GDPR.

simoheinonen commented 3 years ago

That's not accurate enough. GDPR is also used in UK, Iceland and Norway for example which aren't EU countries.

Jumping on this

The thing with GDPR, is that some other countries have similar laws but not GDPR specifically... For example Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Japan and many others have similar personal data handling requirements. A 'data protection' flag would be more useful.

Or you could easily just create a list with the country codes in the list you provided to check for GDPR specifically.

Thank you for your suggestions. This is a very interesting feature that I would love to have implemented in this package.

I'll be happy to consider PRs adding that feature in this package, all PRs are welcome 😉
