European Union Directive
"Storing information or gaining access to already stored information in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only permitted if the specific subscriber or user has given his consent after clear and extensive information in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 11 of Law 2472/ 1997, as applicable. Subscriber or user consent may be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application. The above does not prevent storage or access of any technical nature, the sole purpose of which is to carry out the transmission of a communication via an electronic communications network or which is necessary for the provision of an information society service, which has been expressly requested by the user or the subscriber. By an act of the Personal Data Protection Authority (P.D.P.X.) the methods of providing information and declaring consent are defined in particular.
European Directive 2009/136/EC concerning the amendment of Directive 2002/58/EC regarding the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the field of electronic communications was recently incorporated into Greek Law. The integration was carried out through Law 4070/2012 (Regulations of Electronic Communications, Transport, Public Works and other provisions), which in turn amends the current Law 3471/2006 (on protection of personal data and private life in the sector of electronic communications).
According to the amendment, the currently valid par. 5 of no. 4 on "privacy":
"It is prohibited to use electronic communications networks to store information or gain access to information stored in subscriber or user terminal equipment, in particular by installing spyware, hidden identifiers and other similar devices. Exceptionally, any storage or access of a technical nature is permitted, the sole purpose of which is to carry out or facilitate the transmission of a communication via an electronic communications network, or which is only necessary for the provision of a service to the information society, which has been expressly requested the user or subscriber. In this last case the utility implementation of such provisions is only permitted if the specific subscriber or user is provided with clear and extensive information, in accordance with article 11 of Law 2472/1997, as applicable, and the data controller grants the subscriber or user the right to refuse such processing . By an act of the Personal Data Protection Authority, the methods of providing information, providing the right to refuse or requesting consent are defined in particular.
Amended, in accordance with no. 5, par. 3 of Directive 2009/136/EC as follows:
"Storing information or gaining access to already stored information in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only permitted if the specific subscriber or user has given his consent after clear and extensive information in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 11 of Law 2472/ 1997, as applicable. Subscriber or user consent may be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application. The above does not prevent storage or access of any technical nature, the sole purpose of which is to carry out the transmission of a communication via an electronic communications network or which is necessary for the provision of an information society service, which has been expressly requested by the user or the subscriber. By an act of the Personal Data Protection Authority (P.D.P.X.) the methods of providing information and declaring consent are defined in particular.
Field of application
Both the up to now applicable wording and the new one, find scope for all kinds of cookies, and directly affect the entire spectrum of digital marketing and online advertising.
More specifically, the wording in force until now allowed the use of cookies under the condition of clear and extensive information to the user, without specifying exactly how the information will be carried out. As a rule, the update was carried out through relevant references in the privacy policy of the respective website.
The new wording continues to require the user to be clearly and extensively informed about the cookies that are going to be installed on their device, but also introduces the parameter of the mandatory obtaining of their consent before installation (opt-in), in compliance with the European Fair enough. At the same time, however, it provides for the use of the relevant privacy settings in the user's browser as a legal way of obtaining consent.
The amendment exempts from the need to obtain consent (while maintaining the need to inform the user) all types of cookies which are necessary and necessary for the proper operation of each website, in order to provide the respective service (functional cookies).
The position of the Personal Data Protection Authority
- The subscriber's or user's consent may first be given through the internet service provider's website using appropriate mechanisms (e.g. pop-up windows). Acceptance of cookies can be done once for all cookies installed by the same information society service provider.
- Alternatively, as stated in Law 3471/2006, "consent can also be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application". Caution! This setting is only valid if the consent of the subscriber or user is requested for each "cookie", while the prior acceptance of receiving "cookies" through default settings of the browser is not understood as consent.
- For example, web browsers or other applications, which by default reject third-party cookies and require an active choice on the part of users in order for them to accept both the placement and the continued transmission of information contained in cookies from specific websites , can provide valid and effective consent.
- On the other hand, if the browser's default settings allow all "cookies" to be accepted and an action is required on the part of the user to disable them, the requirements for consent set by the specific article are not met.
- The requirements of the article are also not satisfied by browser settings that allow cookies to be rejected in advance by specific information society service providers (e.g. through "black" lists predefined by the subscriber or user) or similar mechanisms that, although providing the subscriber or user with more options, do not support his prior consent to receive cookies from providers he has not blocked.
- The subscriber or user must be able to withdraw his consent in the same way as he declared it. In the text of the position, a clear separation is also made, and correspondingly with a relevant opinion issued by the Working Group of Article 29 on 7/6, of cookies that are installed for the purpose of advertising and and statistical analysis (web analytics - google analytics - adwords remarketing). According to the text, both of these categories of cookies do not fall under the exception of obtaining consent provided by law.
