Austria DPA Holding Stresses the Need for Granular Consent.
In response to a complaint by privacy advocate None of Your Business (noyb), the Austrian Data Protection Authority held that an Austrian newspaper’s cookie banner that requested a single consent for several purposes was not GDPR compliant. According to the ruling, consent must be specific to every processing purpose.
TAKEAWAY
This ruling by the Austrian DPA is consistent with recent guidance released by the Conference of the Independent Data Protection Authorities of Germany (Datenschutzkonferenz or “DSK”), also stressing the requirement to obtain granular consent on a purpose-by-purpose basis.
