Honestly, GDPR is EVERYWHERE. If you’re collecting any user data (email, IP, etc.), it’s game on. Even for memes, dude. :bullseye:

Yep, for realz. You gotta make sure you’ve got consent if you’re using their info to track or target. It’s like, the law or whatever. :joy:

Even if you don’t store info, if your site uses cookies or other tracking tech, you’re in the compliance zone. :cookie:

Half of us are like ‘GDPR who?’ until it’s too late. Check your cookie policy fam. Also, make sure users can opt-out easily! :woman_tipping_hand:

GDPR feels like adulting for websites. But at least we have each other to figure it out, right? :hugs:
