Accept cookies has nothing to do with GDPR.
GDPR has to do that if you provide your phone/mail to some shop or other service they can only use it to contact you with information directly related to their business, like processing your order etc. They can not send you marketing stuff unless you explicitly consented and must remove you from lists if you ask. Even delete your account if you ask (not the data tho).
- supermatt 7y agoAccepting cookies is definitely related to GDPR. If a cookie can be used to identify you, that is personal information.
- pteraspidomorph 7y agoGDPR added the bit where you can opt out of cookie usage on a case by case basis (by use case or by data processor). American companies usually don't implement that part in a correct or legal manner (they have no incentive for doing so; they're only pretending "your privacy is so very, very important to them" for PR reasons). European companies doing it wrong are on shaky ground, since it's a matter of time until some regulator somewhere (which one depends on their country) slaps them with massive fines.
