Going to be mildly toxic for a second, because I care about my privacy a lot. Apologies for the vitriol in advance
Boohoo. Y'all had 15 months to figure it out, not including the prep time while the referendum was debated in public.
>How is a company going to ensure it is deleting the right customer’s data without collecting more information to verify them?
Why are you collecting PID without the ability to verify it belongs to the right customer in the first place? Why do you want to store the information I use to verify myself to you after I ask you to delete everything?

While we're here, would be good to report Vox Media, the owners of The Verge to your European DPA. They have offices in London; and their cookie dialog is bullshit:

I don't consent. And I hope GDPR and CCPA take their toll on this kind of scum. How did we get to the point where websites that I don't sign into have ToS? Meanwhile, I'll be adding yet another site to my PiHole blacklist.
Complying with the GDPR is easy so long as you are honest and not exploitative. Just only collect information that is needed for the operation of the service.
