GDPR Compliance Services
At IT Monks, we ensure websites across all industries achieve full GDPR compliance. Our team develops tailored GDPR compliance strategies for each project, identifying the security measures businesses must implement to meet the world’s leading privacy and security regulations.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union (EU) law that governs how businesses collect, use, and store the personal data of EU residents. It applies to organizations both within and outside the EU that handle the personal data of EU citizens.
GDPR also outlines specific requirements for cybersecurity systems and processes that businesses must implement to safeguard this data.
Why is GDPR Important?
To avoid financial and reputational risks, companies must be transparent about collecting, storing, and using personal information and ensure individuals have the right to access, correct, or erase their data.

Meet GDPR Compliance with IT Monks
GDPR imposes strict regulations on data processing, requiring businesses to comply with these rules and adapt them to their workflows and website operations. We specialize in building websites that properly handle and store user data at IT Monks, including implementing cookie management for personalized advertising and other marketing activities.
We conduct a GDPR compliance audit to ensure websites adhere to EU data protection regulations. Our cookie scan and inventory process identifies all cookies used on a client’s site. By classifying cookies into categories — essential, analytics, and marketing — we assess each cookie’s impact on user privacy and identify potential risks related to data processing practices.
IT Monks provides a fully customized Cookie Consent and Management System to ensure compliance with Articles 12-14 of GDPR. We implement prior consent enforcement, blocking non-essential cookies until users give explicit approval. Our solution includes a customizable consent banner design tailored to match each website’s branding and multilingual support.
IT Monks provides a fully customized consent record-keeping system, securely storing user approvals for transparency and legal protection. We configure a log retention policy, ensuring consent records are stored appropriately for audits and compliance checks.
We ensure compliance with the GDPR ePrivacy Directive by implementing automatic cookie blocking for non-essential cookies. Before users give explicit consent, we automatically restrict tracking, marketing, and analytics cookies, preventing unauthorized data collection.
We implement a customized user preference center that allows individuals to easily manage their data preferences, update consent, and exercise their rights. Our solution enables users to opt in or out of specific data collection types with granular controls, ensures transparent consent by clearly informing users about data usage, and enforces opt-in mechanisms to prevent automatic enrollment.
By implementing a tailored integration, IT Monks ensures full compliance with Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and other third-party scripts. We enable tag management compatibility for seamless setup, enforce auto-update policies to align with evolving GDPR standards, and activate tracking tools only after explicit user consent to protect user privacy.
