They could have posted that when the cookie law was introduced.

The cookie law didn't ensure that you could opt-out and still receive service. Most sites just said "Accept cookies or go somewhere else" and since all competing services also used tracking cookies, you weren't given much of a choice.

What does it say? I haven't been able to access twitter since GDPR.

> German butcher's GDPR notice: "sometimes we ask you what your name is and notice your favorite meat. if that's not okay by you, loudly shout, when you enter, 'I don't agree to that!'...we will, from then on, act like we never got to know you."

This completely misses the point, and it's telling that it gets votes. The GDPR does not regulate what you personally know, it is about collections of information outside of your brain.

So if the same butcher took notes about his regulars’ preferences, they would need to be GDPR compliant?

that would imply you can e.g. memorize a list of emails and then verbally tell them to another business for a price.

> then verbally tell them to another business

At this point it leaves your brain and becomes subject to the GDPR.

If I take notes about your movie or software do I break IP laws? Maybe US law is weird.

Rough translation: GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation

Attention! In our butcher shop we might ask you for your name and memorize which kind of meat you like. If you don't want us to do that please shout "I do not approve!" when entering.

We will pretend to not know you in that case.

Btw, it's an Austrian butcher shop :)

Despite the fun part, if they keep notes of their client names, it has to be GDPR compliant.

That’s the example I give to my client, but with a hairdresser. If they give you fidelity card and they got a copy of your name in a cardboard box, then yes they have to comply to GDPR.

Here in France, even the media says that GDPR is for internet companies, not explaining that it’s for every companies. So most of them are surprised when you tell them they have to be compliant.
