GDPR Resource Hub

Unless you’ve been living under a rock or on a deserted tropical island, you’ve heard about GDPR. (Also, why haven’t you invited us to your island? Share your blissful GDPR-free real estate. Don’t be rude.)

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation is a law that impacts the way business is done online for the majority of digital publishers, whether they’re EU residents or not.

At Mediavine, we’ve worked hard to ensure we’re doing everything possible to protect Mediavine publishers and enable us all to continue earning strong revenue for our hard work creating digital content.

To assist our publishers in complying with GDPR as well as other privacy regulations, Mediavine offers a Consent Management Platform (CMP).

So that’s what Mediavine has done, but what do I do?

As you consider what you need to do to comply with GDPR, we wanted to gather our educational resources in one place in the hopes of making one aspect of the process a little easier for publishers.

First, digital ads. All Mediavine publishers can obtain GDPR-compliant consent for their Mediavine digital advertising through our Consent Management Platform (CMP).

Here’s our help document that goes through the implementation process step-by-step.

Our CMP enables you to gain consent to display personalized Mediavine ads.

Mediavine CEO Eric Hochberger wrote a blog post on how GDPR will impact the digital advertising industry.

For general help, take a look at our GDPR For Publishers guest post. It includes a checklist of steps to take for compliance:

For more general GDPR questions and answers, here’s our first Facebook Live on the subject, again featuring guest Jamie Lieberman.

And finally, one of the biggest data collectors used by the vast majority of website owners is Google Analytics. Here’s our guide to anonymizing your GA for GDPR compliance.

If you’re a member of our Mediavine Facebook Group (for our publishers only), it’s another great resource. If you’re a Mediavine publisher, but not yet a member of our Facebook group, please email us at publishers@mediavine.com — we’d be happy to get you added! 

There you have it. It’s a lot of material, but GDPR is a lotta law.

It’s seemed overwhelming to all of us at times, but remember, it’s NEW. There are tools coming out daily to assist website owners with compliance, and, as always, Mediavine is here to help you with the ad side of things.

(But if you have your own tropical island, we’re coming to visit…)
