The GDPR gets so much hate because it hits so many businesses where it hurts: data. GDPR "simply" gives you guidelines on how you can handle data from people within the EU. And that that data cannot be handled so liberally as it has been before. Of course that's annoying from a business perspective, but from an individuals privacy perspective, it's fantastic.

I think it gets "hate" from people who don't have much data but they still have to implement all the requirements, which go beyond than their own data storage. Ad-supported websites are probably the most common case here, even if the sites don't store any data themselves.

And that is a good thing. This >23 different trackers and adservers just to read crappy news content BS is so nice to be shaken.

I really love the GDPR for just making the life for such business models way harder.

Implementing data, analytics, tracking and stuff in a way that is compliant with GDPR (or its local equivalents) is doable and from an architectural point of view even interesting imho.

I love building GDPR conforming data architectures with my clients right now.

i suggest you remove the 3 trackers from your blog, or at least let me see it without them. I m not trying to be snarky, just pointing out that removing everything is often very hard.

Well. I know that I have GTM, GA with DC integration (currently) still active on my blog. DC integration will be dropped and the privacy page will be updated to describe, what I am tracking and how long data is being stored. As needed to comply with GDPR/DSGVO.

As I am still having 7 days to go and that is just a personal blog, I plan on using my free time to do that (would just take 3 - 5 minutes to disable everything if I wanted to by removing GTM and redeploying).

So removing everything is quite easy. It is way more difficult to selectively remove singular features - in this case the DoubleClick integration. As I am not doing that exact step all day (even being a data analyst with a focus on web data), I would have to look, where to configure that exactly. That would take longer.

So be snarky - I don't care, as I am already preparing for GDPR compliance and will have my house in order come May, 25th.

[Edit] Took 12 minutes in the end. Will take some time until caching catches up. Using a incognito instance all good to go regarding the trackers. "Only" the update for the privacy page remains for the weekend to do.
