In (very) short. GDPR states that if a website collects, store or use any data related to an EU citizen. You must comply with the following:

• Tell the user: who you are, why you collect the data, for how long and who receives it.
• Get clear concent from users, before collecting any data
• Let users access their data, and take it with them
• Let users delete their data
• Let users know if data breaches occur

Not following these guidelines will eventually result in a fine. Up to EUR 20 million or 4% of your annual turnover – so quite a bit of money.
