Are you implementing GDPR correctly?

As a website conversion software provider, it is inevitable that our clients will use our tools to obtain personal data. Naturally, our tools can be used in full compliance with the GDPR, as we host all of our clients’ data in Europe, but are our clients GDPR compliant from their own end?
Many companies are not compliant. Some appear to be compliant, but they just didn't do it correctly. We want to reduce our customers' stress about GDPR, consent, and cookies, so we've launched a GDPR Cookie Controller to make it easier for them to properly comply with GDPR.
What is GDPR?
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, which governs how businesses handle personal data.
To comply with the GDPR, consent on how personal data is processed must be “given by a clear affirmative act setting out a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication.” – GDPR, Recital 32. How are consent and data collected and stored in that way? With cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are what online services use to store user data on their own devices. When you enter a website and have to choose between "allow all cookies", "do not allow cookies" or "customize your choices" by checking boxes, these are "clear affirmative actions" that establish the necessary consent mentioned above.

Strictly necessary cookies ensure the basic functioning of the website. For example, when you add a product to your basket, log in securely or pay bills online. They are the only type of cookie that the law allows to be collected without consent.
