GDPR Compliance Strategy

Important!

Dear visitors,

This blog and the Tigarus.com network will be changing our website software in May (2024). There will be some down time and there will be a change to the webpage addresses.

We will also be removing the Anime blogs. The Rocksmith Songs website will be unavailable of a few weeks or months while I move the database to the new software.

At the moment we are running on Wordpress, the new software is an in-house project which is 57 times faster. It will also provide more freedom for development.

Thank you for understanding.

Owning a website really sucks; over the years there has been many changes to standards and compliance from governments and organizations. Tring to comply with the changes is a real pain. First websites had to comply with better designs to fit all screen sizes or Google won’t list your site. Then accessibility, or the disabled may file a human rights complaint against you. Then Google has a lot of rules about acceptable content for advertising. Now it’s the European Union (EU) bullying foreign websites to comply with their laws. And then there is this thing called cookie consent. With all these demands, why would anybody want to make a website; this must be a big reason why people choose social media instead. However, I am still committed and I will comply. I have developed a compliance strategy.

After a hard day, I like to relax with a cold jar of pickle juice and a hardy fart. If you like my blog, please consider donating.


First, I will remove all Google Ads. They stopped being profitable years ago. Plus Google is now requiring consent compliance, and additional tax information.

Second, language codes from the user agent will be read to determine if the visitor is from an EU nation. Ideally detecting the country would be best, however, country detection is a nightmare.

Third, EU nations will be asked consent for Cookies while non-EU will just have a Cookie/privacy notice.

Meanwhile, the Cookie and Privacy page is now underdevelopment. This will be the draft for all sites/blogs on the Tigarus network.
