Question 122

In the Planet 49 case, what was the main judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) regarding the issue of cookies?

    Correct Answer: B

    The CJEU in the Planet 49 case ruled that pre-checked boxes do not constitute valid consent under the GDPR. The court emphasized that consent must be obtained through a clear affirmative action. Therefore, if cookies require consent under the ePrivacy Directive, the GDPR’s stringent criteria for consent, which includes an unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes, must be applied.
