Guide to GDPR/CCPA Compliance for Websites

Key Requirements

• Explicit consent for cookies/data collection.
• Right to access/delete user data.
• Data breach notification within 72 hours (GDPR).

How to Comply:

1. Add a Cookie Consent Banner



2. Create a Privacy Policy

Include:

• Data collection purposes (e.g., analytics, marketing).
• User rights (access, deletion, opt-out).
• Contact details for data requests.

3. Enable Data Export/Deletion

For WordPress, use plugins like WP GDPR Compliance.
