Managing personal data and complying with GDPR is crucial for businesses in today’s digital age. As a web developer, ensuring compliance with these regulations can be challenging, but it is essential. In this use case, we’ll explore how one developer dealt with these regulations and why they chose Axeptio as their GDPR compliance solution.
Experience with GDPR and Privacy Laws
For the web developer, complying with GDPR is essential and a personal issue. They’ve invoked GDPR with various organizations to delete their data, which was still accessible despite account deletion. This experience has made them more aware of the personal data they share online and in general. They believe that it’s essential to take the time to request the deletion of personal data, even if it’s a tedious process.
Handling GDPR Internally
The web developer deals with GDPR compliance in collaboration with clients. They raise awareness by explaining the issues, risks, and how to make their website GDPR compliant. They’ve noticed that some websites are still not compliant with GDPR, and they do everything they can to ensure compliance on websites they design or are entrusted with.
The Importance of Consent Collection
Given its complexity, the web developer agrees that consent collection is the most critical part of GDPR compliance. For instance, some services (third-party or not) don’t provide the option to manage consent. As a result, they believe it’s essential to rely on specialized solutions to ensure compliance.
Why Choose Axeptio
For the web developer, choosing Axeptio was a no-brainer. They believe GDPR compliance is a profession and don’t have the necessary resources or knowledge to do it themselves. Their main criteria for choosing Axeptio were its functioning, interface, ergonomics, additional functionality, and price.
What They Liked About Axeptio
The web developer liked Axeptio’s practicality, modern and straightforward design, and advanced customization that allows them to manage the texts and colors of each section.
Borderline Practices
From their experience browsing websites, the web developer finds that some banners and consent windows take up the entire screen, sometimes blocking access to content, and are unclear about what data is being used and for what purpose. They would prefer a more straightforward solution like global consent in the browser.
Third-Party Solutions
In addition to the functional cookies of the CMS, the web developer installs services like Google Analytics, Google Ads, Pixel Facebook, and Pixel Pinterest, depending on their clients’ needs.
