On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force and the cookie law differ from country to country. It is up to the owner of a website to ensure the site is compliant to the rules of the country your visitors come from. You need to check this with a reliable lawyer.

Under the GDPR act, EU citizens got the power to control the personal information they wish to share online but there is much discussion about what is really necessary and what is compliant to the law.

You need to inform users that your site uses cookies. By publishing your site privacy policy which serves as a legal document (in privacy law) you can disclose some or all of the ways your site gathers, uses, discloses, and manages a customer or client’s data. This fulfills your legal requirement to protect a customer or client’s privacy.

One of the latest increase in the EU rules is, that users have to accept cookies and have to opt-in for external services. With Wolmart we added support to implement the Cookie policy.
