Cookie consent in Malta

Consent and privacy law in Malta

In short
Malta tinforza l-GDPR permezz tal-IDPC, il-Kummissarju għall-Informazzjoni u l-Protezzjoni tad-Data, sostnut mill-Att dwar il-Protezzjoni tad-Data nazzjonali tal-2018. Ir-regoli dwar il-cookies joħorġu mir-Regolamenti dwar l-Ipproċessar ta' Data Personali fis-Settur tal-Komunikazzjoni Elettronika u jeħtieġu kunsens għall-cookies mhux essenzjali. Il-gwida Maltija teħtieġ kunsens opt-in, informazzjoni ċara bil-Malti jew bl-Ingliż, u mod faċli kif tirrifjuta. L-IDPC jipproċessa l-ilmenti u ħareġ gwida dwar il-kunsens u dwar l-aċċess għall-informazzjoni tas-settur pubbliku. L-awtorità tittratta l-identifikaturi online bħala data personali u tistenna li l-kontrolluri jżommu evidenza tal-kunsens u jevitaw kaxxi mmarkati minn qabel.
