Cookie Policy

The real name of the Directive is EU Directive 2009/136 / EC, and it is also known as the e-Privacy Directive. This Directive was first introduced into European legislation two years ago, it is basically a series of amendments to federal legislation concerning electronic communications and data privacy. One part of this Directive, Article 5 (3), concerns the use of stored data by websites and most of it comes down to Cookies. In essence, with this new EU Act, all websites will have to seek the consent of visitors to install most cookies. This Act, whose biggest advocate is European Commissioner Neelie Kroes, does not prohibit Cookies but only requires the consent of users before they are installed. Also, not all Cookies are subject to these new rules. Information that is considered necessary for the basic functioning of the website, such as session cookies used to track the shopping cart for payment, does not require the consent of the user.

What is the goal of such a law? The basic idea of ​​this law is to give users more control over who knows and what they know about them and how this information is used. As part of the wider Directive, this is an attempt to harmonize the Laws in European Member States on matters such as data retention and privacy. The creators of this Act had good reason to think that monitoring users by websites is a very important issue that needs to be regulated. A recent study by Truste found that a typical British website uses 14 different tools to track user behavior, most often without their knowledge. This study also found that 84% of online shoppers between the ages of 16 and 64 are aware of Internet Cookies, but that only 24% of them are aware of these new European guidelines. The directive was first adopted in 2009, but its adoption by member states is by no means proceeding at the desired pace. Many countries are struggling to align this federal law with their own local privacy laws. Until the initial deadline for the adoption of this Directive, which was May 2011, only Denmark and Estonia have enacted national laws that are considered to be in line with this new EU Law. The Privacy Directive is theoretically already in force across Europe since it entered into force on 25 May 2011, however, as webmasters took time to bring their websites into line with the new Act, they were given a period of one year to do so. This means that as of May 26, 2012, all websites will have to comply with this Act.

To whom does this law apply? The law applies to all member states of the European Union, however, even websites outside the EU must comply with this law if they are targeting audiences in the member states of the European Union. For example, a non-EU-based website that sells its products to consumers in Germany, or that has a French-language version of the site targeted at users in France, will need to comply with this Act.
