No. The fact that the last letter in "GDPR" is not "D" is a pretty good hint that it's not a Directive ;)
It's a Regulation. Regulations apply directly, and are not translated into local law.
But omgitsabird is correct that GDPR is not the relevant basis here, but a clause in French Data Protection Law. And this clause exists because of the ePrivacy Directive.
- 123pie123 5y agothanks, I hadn't realised that regulations existed in this manner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_(European_Union) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_(European_Union) so the EU regulations come into Law of all EU countries via "Article 288 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union"
