Following the hundreds of million fines imposed Amazon, Google and Facebook by the CNIL and other authorities relating to their use of cookies, this article aims to review the CNIL’s practical recommendations in this area so that to help organisations to understand the requirements in France and to some degree, to the rest of the European Union.
The CNIL reminds in its recommandations that it constitutes only examples which are neither prescriptive nor exhaustive and that although they are focused on the web and mobile environment, they can also be applied to other environments (connected TV etc.).
