Explanation

The GDPR requires that consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. This means that app developers must provide clear and transparent information about the purposes and legal basis of the data processing, and allow users to choose which types of processing they agree to and which they do not. For example, users should be able to consent separately to different types of cookies, such as functional, analytical or marketing cookies. Users should also be able to withdraw their consent at any time as easily as they gave it. Therefore, app design and implementation must take into account these requirements and provide users with granular and user-friendly consent options, rather than relying on pre-ticked boxes, implied consent or default
