 * Is consent dialog being displayed to EU countries only?
 * This can be detected using JavaScript (to support caching) similar to [https://github.com/insites/cookieconsent/blob/master/src/cookieconsent.js](https://github.com/insites/cookieconsent/blob/master/src/cookieconsent.js)
   implementation.

 * It is not.
 * The reason why is that this law is not only for users from the EU but EU citizens.
   An EU citizen using your site from NY is protected by GDPR the same way as a 
   someone in the EU.

 * Many thanks for your prompt reply Fernando.
 * I find it hard to believe that all websites and mobile apps in the World would
   show consent dialog.
 * Check out:
    [https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/eu-consent](https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/eu-consent)“
   The user is not located in the European Economic Area and consent is not required
   under the EU User Consent Policy.”

 * I am not sure how this is going to play out [@krstarica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krstarica/)
 * I am not sure why Google says it does not require consent. Afaik GDPR applies
   to all EU citizens. They could be in or out of the EU.
