Hey, just went through a few different checklists, and discovered that Lemmy does not meet GDPR requirements for notifying users for how servers handle the data. I've brought up this request on github, and I hope to get it fixed soon, but in the meantime I've compiled a list of EU address blocks and intend to add them to my firewall. Just thought you all should know.

  • There is also not a "cookie accept" when you first visit the site that is now standard convention.

    • That's because Lemmy does not use tracking cookies! Lemmy only uses one authentication cookie, cookies such as these do not require user consent (at least under the GDPR). More info: https://gdpr.eu/cookies/

    • I was told by the owner of Beehaw that login cookies are excluded from the cookie dialog requirement, and Lemmy doesn't use tracking cookies which are subject to the requirement.
