Description

Implemented Guidelines for cookies and other tracking tools

The grace period for the entry into force of the Guidelines for cookies and other tracking tools of six months has ended and thus the Guidelines have now come into effect. The guidelines require all data processors to indicate any other recipients of personal data and the retention times of the information. For profiling cookies, the need for consent remains to be requested through a clearly distinguishable banner on the web page, through which users must also be offered the possibility to continue browsing without being tracked in any way, for example by closing the banner by clicking on the X feature to be inserted at the top right.
