Frequently asked questions
La France impose-t-elle un bouton Tout refuser sur les bandeaux de cookies ?+
Oui. La CNIL exige que refuser soit aussi simple qu'accepter, ce qui implique en pratique d'offrir une option Tout refuser sur le même niveau de bandeau que Tout accepter.
Le défilement peut-il valoir consentement aux cookies en France ?+
Non. La CNIL a indiqué que la poursuite de la navigation ou le défilement ne constitue pas un consentement valable. Un acte positif clair est requis pour chaque traceur non essentiel.
