Iam sure they are as I have posted some messages about it on here. Just search for 'GDPR' without anyything else after it.
I used a WP GDPR Compliance plugin just to give me a heads up on compliance and time left to comply. As from the date of this entry we have 42 days left to avoid fines. The plugin only is a guideline and doesn´t do anything aside from advise but there are things in there I didn´t know. Saying that we cannot customise contact forms and order forms on the site as it suggests we do, for example this is one of the questions it asks:
Is there an order form on your website or webshop present?
Suggestion:
Make sure you add a checkbox specifically asking the user of the form if they consent to you storing and using their personal information to ship the order. This cannot be the same checkbox as the Privacy Policy checkbox you should already have in place. The checkbox must be unchecked by default. Also mention if you will send or share the data with any 3rd-parties and which.

Ok I will download this WP GDPR Compliance plugin and connect to my Privacy Policy.
