EU ePrivacy Directive

The EU ePrivacy Directive, also known as the "Cookie Law," is a piece of legislation aimed at protecting the privacy of individuals online. It requires websites to obtain users' consent before storing cookies or tracking their online behavior. This means that when you visit a website, you should be informed about data collection practices and have the option to accept or refuse cookies. The directive complements the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by focusing specifically on electronic communications and aims to enhance users' control over their personal information in the digital space.
