The GDPR Framework By Data443

I've tested various GDPR plugins, and the GDPR Framework was definitely the best in my opinion. You've got a privacy policy template generated for you with a setup wizard, a cookies notice popup (which you can customize from the admin side), a page to manage users data, both on front and back end, plus more options and a lot of information on their website, and all of this for FREE. Thanks a lot for the contribution!

Best one!
