WordPress Privacy Release

WordPress released version 4.9.6 this week. It is their “Privacy” Release.
It now has a few tools added that will assist in your WordPress based website being able to maintain compliance with Europe’s GDPR, the data privacy law that is effecting most websites. I imagine it will evolve further as things do, but for now they have added the ease of being able to add a privacy policy page (to be filled in with your unique policy) and adjusting Comments functionality for compliance. You can read more about the WP 4.9.6 release here.
