Do I need a cookie consent banner in Germany?

Yes. Under the TDDDG any storage of or access to information on a user device that is not strictly necessary requires prior opt-in consent, so non-essential cookies and trackers must be blocked until the user agrees.

Which authority enforces data protection in Germany?

Enforcement is split. The federal BfDI covers federal public bodies and telecoms, while each of the 16 states has its own DPA that supervises most private companies based in that state.

Are reject buttons required on German cookie banners?

German regulators expect rejecting to be as easy as accepting. A banner that only offers Accept on the first layer while hiding the reject option is treated as failing to obtain valid consent.

Persetujuan dan hukum privasi di Deutschland

Germany layers the GDPR with the federal BDSG and 16 separate state data protection laws, so the supervisory authority depends on where the controller is established. For cookies and similar technologies the TDDDG (formerly TTDSG) transposes the ePrivacy storage rule, meaning any access to or storage on a device that is not strictly necessary needs prior opt-in consent. German regulators reject pre-ticked boxes and treat continued browsing as invalid consent. They also scrutinise consent banners that make rejecting harder than accepting. Public bodies fall under the BfDI, while most private companies answer to the relevant state authority such as the Berlin or Bavarian DPA.
