This may be a dumb question, and also may have been asked a long time ago, but why isn't Universe@Home shown in the Einstein@Home Projects list?

I have been using Einstein, Milkyway, and Universe since SETI was placed on the back burner, and I don't remember if I've had them for longer than that.  Regardless, I have never seen Universe@Home listed on Einstein's "Projects" List.  It is listed on the other websites, along with Einstein, so I'm very curious about this.

Almost positive it has to do with GDPR controls for Universe.

Could you explain what GDPR is?  If you told me before, I have since forgot it.

Thank you Gary.  I have

Thank you Gary.  I have narrowed the search to two individual websites.

 

1)  Specifically, this document from Einstein shows how to give permission to your website in question.

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/raw-attachment/wiki/WorkShop18/2-5-GDPR-and-BOINC.pdf

 

2)  This BOINC document webpage shows how to do it within your project config file.

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/GdprCompliance

 

So, once again, thanks to Gary Roberts, we now have a way to make sure that your Einstein@Home website has all the information you should need to display a particular project.
