The New EU Laws about Privacy

I don't have ads on my site so I have no idea if this applies to me or not.

The EU has a new internet privacy law that requires websites to get consent from EU users if the site employs cookies or ad tracking.  I already disabled personalized ad tracking through google and facebook after learning how to do that on the morning news.

But now google is throwing the responsibility at people like me, who have a blog, to conform to the new EU rule.  And I have no clue how to do it.    I think it'd be great if google just took responsibility since I'm not doing that, they are.

Here's the link on how:  Do you understand this, because I don't.

I don't know if the EU will make me an international criminal because this blog is hosted by google and they track people or not.  I don't travel anyhow so they'd have to come here to arrest me and maybe I'd get a trip to Europe.  I would love that.  However, I really don't want to be a cyber criminal thanks to google and their tracking of everyday people for who knows why.

I do know what cookies are because I delete them from my browser every two weeks so I can read a few more articles of local news off the local newspaper site.  Otherwise they block me after I click 12 times on their site or stories until I pay them.  As many of you know, money is scarce around these parts.  Even that brings on the guilt.  My parents inlaid that so well.  Google might could use a bit of that guilt.

I think I'll email the EU.  I know its a vast entity, the EU, that appears in my brain as a blob, without a point of contact, but maybe I can find some person, some human and ask them to check my site for violations.
