GDPR is the EU's General Data Protection Regulation and the rules that govern how organisations may collect, use, store and share personal data. Personal data is information that can be linked to an individual, such as a name, email address, IP address or information submitted through a form.
For a website, GDPR means that the organisation must know what data is collected, why it is collected, how long it is stored and who can access it. The information must be processed on a lawful and transparent basis, and users must receive clear information about what happens to their data.
What does GDPR involve in practice?
On a website, this may include a privacy policy, forms, cookies, analytics tools and consent. Tools such as Cookiebot can help manage consent for cookies, while Consent Mode can control how Google tags behave based on the user's choices.
GDPR should be considered alongside the technical setup and content, rather than added as a text at the very end. Visit the Norwegian Data Protection Authority for more information about privacy and organisational responsibilities.
