Frequently asked questions
Zijn cookiewalls legaal in Nederland?+
De AP beschouwt cookiewalls die toegang blokkeren tenzij trackingcookies worden geaccepteerd als onrechtmatig, omdat op die manier verkregen toestemming niet vrij is gegeven.
Welke wet regelt cookies in Nederland?+
Cookies worden geregeld door de Nederlandse Telecommunicatiewet, die de ePrivacy-opslagregel omzet en voorafgaande opt-in-toestemming vereist voor niet-essentiële cookies, naast de AVG.
