EU cookie rule on tracking consent

Hi there,

you might have heard that there will be a new EU regulation which means that the user needs to actively check a box before we can use any kind of tracking/analytics.

This is rather annoying because we collect no personal data at all.

Is anyone aware of ideas how to solve this issue?

Regards

Stefanie

    Hi the challenge is that certain types of data we collect today are considered private data. (IP) for example can be in certain cases.

    Its important to work with your internal legal teams, have them clarify limitations. You also should update and check your own sites TOCs

    The excuse of our data being anonymized and aggregative will likely not be sufficient.

    I have started to capture the action itself of Warning cookie presented, and clicked. It will be a key measure to show the impact of this new potential mandatory data policy.

    regards

    Forgot to mention - I am keeping a close eye on this. At the moment our main defence to legal was that there are no large eCommerce companies doing it and that will should follow their lead for the moment.
