Frequently asked questions
Wat was de uitspraak van de Belgische toezichthouder over het IAB-kader?+
De GBA oordeelde dat het Transparency and Consent Framework van IAB Europe in strijd was met de AVG en dat de consentstrings persoonsgegevens waren. De beslissing dwong tot ingrijpende wijzigingen in het kader dat in online advertenties wordt gebruikt.
Moeten Belgische cookiebanners meertalig zijn?+
Banners moeten in de voor het publiek relevante taal zijn. België heeft Nederlandstalige, Franstalige en Duitstalige regio's, dus de toestemmingsmelding moet overeenkomen met de taal van de bediende gebruiker.
