What was the Belgian DPA ruling on the IAB framework?

The APD found that the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework breached the GDPR and that its consent strings were personal data. The decision forced significant changes to the framework used in online advertising.

Do Belgian cookie banners need to be multilingual?

Banners should be in the language relevant to the audience. Belgium has Dutch, French, and German speaking regions, so the consent notice should match the language of the user being served.

Belgium's APD became internationally known for its decision against the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework, finding that the TC String constituted personal data and that the framework breached the GDPR. That ruling shaped how programmatic advertising consent is handled across Europe. The Belgian authority requires opt-in consent for non-essential cookies and rejects pre-checked boxes. As a trilingual country, Belgium expects banners in the relevant national language for the audience. The APD has a dedicated cookie checklist and enforces against banners where the reject path is hidden or harder than accepting.
