Explanation

The ePrivacy Directive, also known as the Cookie Law, is the EU legislation that regulates the use of cookies and other tracking technologies on websites and mobile applications. The ePrivacy Directive states that the use of cookies on websites and mobile applications is conditioned upon the prior consent of users, unless the cookies are strictly necessary for the provision of the service. Users must also be given clear and comprehensive information about the purposes of the cookies and the means to refuse them. The ePrivacy Directive complements the GDPR, which also applies to the processing of personal data through cookies, but does not specifically address the consent requirement for cookies.
