In reply to Anne H.

You are right Anne. This does impact any site that has EU citizen users. How that is going to be regulated, I'm not sure - it's a massive undertaking.

For the standard we're trying to create, and the many plugins that can be created around that, we're not too concerned about your geolocation, but rather that you as a website owner and administrator, is able to comply with the GDPR, using it as a measure for how well you handle personal data.
