Tom Fox and Jonathan Armstrong, renowned experts in cyber security, co-host the award-winning Life with GDPR. In this episode, they discuss Cookie Compliance Under GDPR.
Their discussion highlights the increasing enforcement actions surrounding website cookies, emphasizing that this is a data protection issue and a broader compliance challenge. Specific case studies, such as the Dutch regulator’s fine against Pool Blue and fines in other EU countries, illustrate the significant financial penalties companies can face for non-compliance. Jonathan outlines an eight-point plan to help organizations ensure their cookie practices are current, including regular checks, proper configuration of cookie banners, and transparency about data retention periods.
The episode also touches on the role of third-party cookies, potential litigation, and regulatory actions. Compliance with cookie regulations is becoming increasingly important, with groups like NOYB driving many complaints and regulatory bodies across Europe ramping up enforcement efforts. Listeners are encouraged to assess their cookie practices and make necessary adjustments to avoid fines and maintain compliance.
