I have been on hiatus for about 2 weeks while i scrambled to get my monthly dues.... the new GDPR laws have passed. I seen a notice in my google adsense about it. I don't know how ot handle it. OH! I did update my privacy policy, I noticed WordPress had already made a template for one so I just used that one but still, is that all I need to do?

I watched a YouTube video tutorial where they showed me how to insert a bit of code to make this pop up window appear to ask guests how they want to proceed, however I am unable to get into my Editor / Appeareance section on my WordPress dashboard. For some reason I cannot access it, I get an "error" screen, as if its a temporary problem but I have had this issue for a few weeks now... anyone else unable to get to that part of their back office?

But mostly I just want to know what i missed in terms of what should be done now that the GDPR laws have been passed? How will this affect me? How will it affect my earnings?

If I turn off personalized ads, then my potential "clicks" will go down right? I feel so... I feel like I am going to get in trouble for something I am not aware of so please tell me what I am dealing with in terms of what if I dont do anything and jut leave my pricavy policy updated like it is now for the new GDPR laws?
