Since a few years back, it is mandatory for all websites to inform visitors about e.g. that you set cookies. Failure to do so violates the EU GDPR rules. I would think that in practice, probably 9 out of 10, or more, sites don’t follow the rules, including most of those who do have a cookie warning (“cookie banner”). It is not enough to just have a small warning text. You must also have a public privacy policy (how many sites have it?) and several other things.
We have now updated our privacy policy on BKWineTours.com so that it fully follows the GDPR regulations (as far as we can judge). A link can also be found at the bottom of the newsletter.
For those who are interested in the technology, we have also described what we did to solve the “problem” with GDPR. Our sites are built on WordPress and there are many different tools. Here we describe what we did: Getting a cookie banner and making the site GDPR compliant.
