Joomla! Community Magazine™

May is about to end and it's being a period very rich of news in the Joomla sphere.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enacted to protect the privacy rights of residents of the European Union. One of the ways in which GDPR protects privacy is by enacting certain principles relating to the processing of personal data.
