Hi,
I hope this topic fits in this forum section, otherwise I apologize.
I have a "One Page" website today, where I offer free photos under the CC0 License (I have of course photographed all of the photos myself).
The number of photos are starting to add upp, getting close to almost 1000, and I don't have any good photo gallery for them, making it time consuming to add new photos in the HTML-code all the time.
Also, I have some advertisement, not much though.
I was wondering, do you experts think Piwigo will suit me? And any of the standard themes?
My main focus will be offering free photos I have taken, but I would also like to add maybe one or two ads to the site, making a little bit of money perhaps. I have accounts at Unsplash, Pexels etc. which I link to as well (standard links, no iframe embedding or anything). I use the accounts at Unsplash and Pexels mostly to display some of my photos, to draw the visitors to my website where I publish more of them.
I also wonder, how do you all setup Piwigo to comply with GDPR? Any suggestions?
I haven't installed the CMS yet, thought it would be good ask some questions first. :)
Thank you, have a great evening.

Hi,
I forgot to mention regarding to GDPR:
The website will not have any user registration/login, it will be purely a gallery where people can download my photos for free, and some short info and also 1 or 2 ads.
Any reply would be appreciated.

Hi again,
I have installed Piwigo and so far it's looking very promising! Great work, it seems really stable!
Many thanks!
Have a nice day.

IANAL.
If you don't have user registrations and don't use 3rd-party crap and don't keep server logs with IPs for an extended amount of time you should be fine. Piwigo only uses session cookies that are cleared after some time. GDPR doesn't mandate any specific handling for such technically necessary cookies without personally identifiable information associated.
However, as you stated elsewhere you seem to plan to monetize your site using ads, and usually ads come with 3rd-party crap collecting and transfering PII, so you will have to come up with a privacy notice where you exactly state what is collected and why and sent where, and give users the opportunity to bail out before anything is transferred.
Again, I Am Not A Lawyer. Seek professional advice.

Hi,
Thank you, I understand. :)
For the ads I plan to use a CMP consent management platform which handles the consent. I know they (the ads) come with 3rd party CDN etc.
It is nice to see that Piwigo doesn't use any CDN as standard, no font or script fetched from another domain.
