The first thing I notice on this site is a banner telling me that I will be tracked unless I opt out. This isn't even GDPR compliant.

> This isn't even GDPR compliant.

Our World in Data in run by Oxford University, so outside of EU. The applicability of EU GDPR laws outside EU is a complicated topic.

Although the GDPR is an EU Regulation it is incorporated into UK law and that hasn't changed since Brexit.

It's not that complicated but if you are too small you don't worry about it.

If you are big (like this site here) you have lawyers so you also don't worry about it.
