Hi, I am having fun working on the finer points of your excellent plugin. I am using the free version and find it very useful and thank you very much for your hard work and supplying so much functionality for free. I have discovered GDPR does not display – Is this because my website is hosted in a region that doesn’t require such? Thanks for your hard work. Cheers, Hammo
