European Union laws require you to give European Union visitors information about cookies used and data collected on your blog. In many cases, these laws also require you to obtain consent.
As a courtesy, we have added a notice on your blog to explain Google's use of certain Blogger and Google cookies, including use of Google Analytics and AdSense cookies, and other data collected by Google.
You are responsible for confirming this notice actually works for your blog, and that it displays. If you employ other cookies, for example by adding third party features, this notice may not work for you. If you include functionality from other providers there may be extra information collected from your users.
This notice came to me from Google and I don't know what the f*ck it means. Perhaps my European visitors can tell me if they're being notified about cookies?
If you don't know what this means then you probably haven't installed any third party add-ons so this would not apply to you.
ReplyDeleteI got this, too. I figure if Blogger put it somewhere and I don't figure out how to get rid of it, it'll be there when someone in Europe logs on. But, I bet they get tired to seeing a notice on every blog they visit.
ReplyDeleteAnon - What a relief, thanks!
ReplyDeletewhkattk - It gave me the impression I *shouldn't* get rid of it.
I live in Europe (Baltics) and today the blog opened EXACATLY as always.
ReplyDeleteIf there is any change in the following days I will report in another comment

Anon - Thank you for this information!

ReplyDeleteso the new European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is operational: true!!! and everyone here in Europe is receiving a storm of mail from everyone (obviously not private) who keeps even only our mail address. It's a storm (awful)
