It covers localStorage and any similar features that may come along in the future.
- ricardobeat 7y agoThe GDPR law concerns data which can be used to identify / track a person. It does mention cookies once! Quote: > Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags. This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them. This would not apply to the above method since it is not an identifier. The problem is, there is another regulation called the ePrivacy directive (from 2009, the original 'cookie law') that states you need user consent before setting any kind of cookies other than the strictly necessary. In the privacy dialog, these are allowed to be pre-selected, unlike identifying cookies, but you still need to acquire consent explicitly. Not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.
