EU is going to implement GDPR for protection of personal data for citizens of EU. This will come to effect from 25/05/2018. I run a website (w3resource.com) which publish content for software developers. We use softwares, both first and third party to collect personal information from our users.
Google Analytics, Google Adsense and Amazon CPM Ad network : They use cookies to collect various information including IP address. This information is stored by Google and Amazon on their own Data Center.
Disqus: This is a commenting system which stores users name, email, IP address and stores data in their data center.
Question Answer and Quizzes section of our website: This is a first party software which stores users name, email, IP address and stores data in our server in USA.
Server and Web logs: This stores IP adress whenever a user visits our website and data are stored in our server in USA.
We thought of informing user whenever (s)he eneters our site for the first time and whenever (s)he registers for qa and quiz and then a link to take the user to the Privacy Policy page.
Do we need to know keep record of the user's consent in our database? Or informing the user regarding it will be sufficient?
Any suggestions and refernce to a site similar to us, which has implemented this properly will be greatly appreciated.
