## Description

In version 4.9.6. WordPress added certain privacy “features” to core. These include
a Privacy Policy page, and an opt-in check box in the comments field. 4.9.8. removed
the comment field, but also removed comment cookies from not logged in users, causing
some sites to break. Useful for testing, IoT, sites in Nevada USA, or for other 
sites that do not need GDPR related features.

### Usage

Once activated, navigate to Settings >> Privacy. New controls have been added.

## Screenshots

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

Clone or copy the file into your plugins directory, then activate the plugin from
the admin menu.

  What is going on with the dissapearing comment check box?

No one knows for sure. The comment check box was added in WordPress version 4.9.6,
then removed in version 4.9.8. However, the latest version disables comment cookies
by default, breaking the ability for unlogged in users to detect when their comments
have been submitted.

  Do I need a privacy policy on my site?

No! GDPR is a European law. The plugin author, for instance, is located in Nevada,
USA and GDPR doesn’t apply here.
