Seeing how easily the Spanish government has shot down / filtered websites in the past months and how easily they are suing Internet activities that they dislike, I’d rather give them as few excuses as possibly. This is my main motivation to seek EU compliance. 🙄

Our Discourse site is hosted in The Netherlands. Our target audience is mainly in Catalonia / Spain. Our site doesn’t use cookies for AdSense or anything similar. For what is worth, we do plan to embed comments in other sites.

I have tried following the links mentioned here but, honestly, I’m overwhelmed and I don’t think I’m stupid. Would taking this text as template suffice for now? (I don’t even know what is the diff with the equivalent content in Discourse master): [https://www.communiteq.com/privacy-policy/](https://www.communiteq.com/privacy-policy/)

Also related, the cookie disclaimer. I don’t feel like reviving the rather antagonistic thread “Compliance with EU Cookie Law” but I wonder what EU based Discourse sites are doing nowadays. I noticed the last comment in the aforementioned thread pointing to [https://cookieconsent.insites.com/](https://cookieconsent.insites.com/) – is this the best / a convenient solution for now?
