- throwanem 9y agoIsn't that already an EU requirement?
- kbart 9y agoGPDR itself doesn't specify cookies use. "Cookie law" is defined in ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) which to be replaced by ePrivacy Regulation which is an addendum to GPDR. Actually, it's going to be much saner approach than the joke the current "cookie law" is: "Simpler rules on cookies: the cookie provision, which has resulted in an overload of consent requests for internet users, will be streamlined. The new rule will be more user-friendly as browser settings will provide for an easy way to accept or refuse tracking cookies and other identifiers. The proposal also clarifies that no consent is needed for non-privacy intrusive cookies improving internet experience (e.g. to remember shopping cart history) or cookies used by a website to count the number of visitors."[0] To answer your question "do we need to get consent from users before we can set any cookies?" It depends: yes for tracking cookies, no for others. How to tell them apart is another question.. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrivacy_Regulation_(European_Union) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrivacy_Regulation_(European_...
