[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.
