Frequently asked questions
Why is Luxembourg's CNPD important despite the small country?+
Several large international companies are headquartered in Luxembourg, so the CNPD acts as lead authority for major cross border cases and has issued some of the largest GDPR fines on record.
What languages should Luxembourg cookie notices use?+
Luxembourg is multilingual, so notices may be in French, German, or Luxembourgish depending on the audience being served.
