Fight for cookie information: What website operators now need to know!

Herne, Deutschland - New cookie note forces website operators to act! From now on, all website operators not only have to inform about the use of cookies, but also obtain express consent of the users. This is a response to current legal requirements that should ensure that users' personal data are processed with transparency and approval. As the city of Herne reports, most websites use cookies to improve the user experience and to draw conclusions about the internet behavior of their visitors. It should be noted that a distinction is made between technically necessary and non -necessary cookies.

According to the current provisions, which were specified by the Telekommunikation-Digitale-Data Protection Act (TDDDG), which are not absolutely necessary, only after an active consent be set. This requires website operators to implement a detailed cookie note requirement. The clear explanation is essential which data it is and what it is used for. The devil's work is that a simple cookie note is no longer sufficient; Users must be given the possibility to agree or reject actively.

A cookie banner, as it is used in many ways, is no longer sufficient. Website operators now need a so-called Consent Tool that enables users' consent. In addition, the data protection declaration must clearly show which cookies are used and which data are processed. Compliance with these legal requirements is not only legally necessary, but also protects the privacy of users from unwanted data persecution.

Overall, a complete realignment in dealing with cookies and tracking will be expected, while website operators have to adapt to the new rules in order to avoid legal consequences and to gain the trust of the users.
