Cookies – technical aspects, the latest case law, and guidelines issued by regulators

In 2020, national authorities in individual EU countries issued a series of rulings imposing heavy fines for breach of cookies rules. In these cases, rulings were issued by the ECJ and national courts. The substantive legal grounds for these rulings and judgments were the GDPR and provisions on e-privacy.

During the webinar, we will look at technical and legal issues relating to use of cookies in practice. Our presentations will include the latest decisions and guidelines issued by regulatory authorities, the most important case law, and a proposal for the Electronic Communication Law.
