  The ePD text says nothing about a 12 month cookie expiration and also ePD != GDPR

    > While GDPR only applies to the processing of personal data, ePrivacy regulates electronic communication even if it concerns non-personal data. Also, in the case of cookies, the ePrivacy generally takes precedence. https://gdpr.eu/cookies/#:~:text=All%20persistent%20cookies%20have%20an,you%20do%20not%20take%20action https://gdpr.eu/cookies/#:~:text=All%20persistent%20cookies%.... > persistent cookies have an expiration date written into their code, but their duration can vary. According to the ePrivacy Directive, they should not last longer than 12 months, but in practice, they could remain on your device much longer if you do not take action.

      > According to the ePrivacy Directive, they should not last longer than 12 months The quote you keep referencing is false. The ePD says nothing about this.

  You'll note they don't reference or explain that. The ePrivacy Directive is a directive to member states to create legislation or regulation. It doesn't have the force of law and it certainly isn't the GDPR. The OP is right - there is nothing here that indicates that Zoom misunderstands the GDPR. Indeed the author of the post seems to misunderstand it, or include it as an attempt to grab attention.
