    Hello,

    Thanks for the plugin. I have an important question: Is it legal?
    That is to say, if we enable the plugin, are we complying with the GDPR regulations?

    We would not like to be fined

    Thank you in advance

    I think that is something only you (and your legal team) can answer and depends on how you interpret the GDPR regulations.

    Based on my understanding of how this plugin works:

    • IP address is not being stored
    • No personal data is sent to Google
    • Client ID is hashed and therefore cannot be used to identify an individual
    • Client ID is stored for a minimum period of time

    As such, in my opinion it probably complies with GDPR regulations, but I’m not a lawyer so obviously don’t take this as legal advice, and I may be wrong.

    Hmm, well I did some more reading around the topic and now I’m not so sure whether it would comply with GDPR regulations. There’s an interesting discussion about a similar method here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25301500

    If anyone else cares to offer their opinion, please chime in.
