[All PDPF Questions]

When does the GDPR require data subjects consent to a cookie?

AAlways, because a cookie is regarded as online identifier

BNever, as the EU Cookie Law does not require explicit consent

COnly if the cookie contains authentication information of the data subject

DOnly if the cookie contains shopping basket items

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Data protection and privacy are complementary, but not the same thing.

A very repeated phrase is: ''It is possible to have security without privacy, but it is not possible to have privacy without security''.

Privacy is a right that must be protected, and Data Protection are the measures that will be used to achieve this protection.

Cookies? More like 'crumby' legal questions! *chuckles* But seriously, I think the correct answer is somewhere in the details.

Wait, is this a trick question? I thought the GDPR was all about protecting user data, not just cookies. *scratches head*

Hmm, I was thinking it might depend on the type of information the cookie contains. Option C sounds more reasonable.

I'm not sure about the EU Cookie Law, but I think the GDPR focuses more on the purpose and use of the data, not just the presence of a cookie.

Option A seems too broad. I think the GDPR requires consent only for certain types of cookies, not all of them.
