GDPR Fee

It sounds expensive for the work that will be done. What guarantees/insurance do you have that the privacy policy they are giving you is correct?
But at the same time, you are paying a professional.
It took me a couple of weeks to do the research and write our Privacy policy, but it took me 15 minutes to put the page online and link to it.

Depends on the scope of work. 'Cookies and Policies' is too vague. A UK web developer should be charging between £35-£120 per hour depending skill, experience, platform, whether they are an agency or a home base freelancer etc so that is between 1 hour 15 minutes to 4 hours work. Based on the detail of your statement, yes that is reasonable.

That sounds expensive to me. We've done GDPR compliance work for small businesses including much more documentation and logs etc for about 4x that, which is an awful lot more work!
That said, it does depend upon what software your website runs on and what (if any) data you are collecting through it. For example if you have no shopping cart, no "login" function and are not tracking it with Google Analytics, in all likelihood there's not much you actually need done, but if you do have any of those things, there might be coding needed (but rare these days as most sites are WordPress, Drupal or similar CMS's.

Indeed. But if all they are doing is adding a cookie plugin and a link to a privacy page it's not going to take 2 hours.

It does depend on work being undertaken. Devopers charge £60+ per hour. However just doing cookies and privacy is not all that needs doing for compliance.

As a web and business professional, I can tell you its neither too much nor too little. Here is why; Usually, anyone looking to get any sort of work done, should get at least three quotes from three different suppliers. This will give you an indication of cost average. Secondly; A web developer or webmaster can charge the rate they feel they are worth, no one has the right to say otherwise. If a potential client feels that the price is too high, simply find someone else. My personal opinion is that the amount you paid sounds ok, as long as the customer service experience was also good. Because as far as I am concerned, most of my clients value customer care, more than the work it self. Good honest service providers are hard to come by these days.
