The GDPR doesn’t discuss cookies, IIRC. It discusses the collection and use of personally identifiable information. The cookie law is a different law.

- MaxBarraclough 6y agoYou're right, got my wires crossed :P It's not directly relevant, but regarding exceptions to the consent requirements of the cookie law, apparently there are two: [0][1] > - the cookie is for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network > - the cookie is strictly necessary to provide an ‘information society service’ (eg a service over the internet) requested by the subscriber or user. Note that it must be essential to fulfil their request – cookies that are helpful or convenient but not essential, or that are only essential for your own purposes, will still require consent. Unlike the GDPR, there's no necessary for the performance of a contract exemption.
