The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, is a legal framework created to keep everyone's personal data safe by requiring companies to follow strict and transparent processes when handling personal data.

Being a GDPR-compliant business means your company is adhering to the data protection regulations set by the GDPR legal framework. At its core, the ideology behind GDPR is to give web users 100% control over what personal data they want to share with businesses when they browse websites and use web applications.

If you want your business to be GDPR-compliant, you can start by taking a couple simple measures to protect the privacy of your customers and web visitors. One of the most important things in the GDPR framework is transparency. Start off by being transparent about what personal data you intend to collect and what you're going to use that data for.

Another great place to start being GDPR-compliant is letting web visitors take control of which cookies they want running on your website for the duration of their session. But if you're not sure whether your company is GDPR-compliant, go through the legal framework and understand the processes and guidelines they've set for you to follow regarding personal data.

To let your web visitors take control of cookies on your site, you can add a website cookie banner to give users the choice to accept or reject cookies. But if your web visitors reject all cookies, they might not get the user experience you'd intended for them to have. This is where Serviceform's cookie banner comes in. When a web visitor clicks 'reject cookies', they may just want disable marketing cookies which are used to run retargeting campaigns.

With Serviceform's Cookie banner, you give the freedom to your web visitors to select which cookies they want to disable and which cookies they don't mind keeping active. Instead of just saying 'accept all' or 'reject all', Serviceform's cookie banner gives your web visitor 100% control over privacy preferences.
