it really depends on how the organization's legal counsel interprets the laws and how risk-averse they are. Some organizations might say only Germany requires double opt-in, while others also include Austria and Switzerland. Some organizations might say the US operates under "everyone is opted in until they opt out" while others might say everyone needs to opt in, regardless of country.

Those larger goals highlighted edu-cation for good citizenship; to them great books were more of anantidote than a contributor to that bland, conformist mass culturefeared by mid-century critics (left and liberal and conservative) anddescribed by cultural historians.

We exclude sources we know to have paywalls, primarily aggregate personally identifiable information, have content that violates our policies, or have opted-out.

Furthermore, there is compelling evidence that obtaining consent can result in bias, which, in certain circumstances, can affect the outcome of the analysis. Introducing bias into data would not be in the interest of any of the stakeholders.

It is generally a best practice to request scopes incrementally, at the time access is required, rather than up front. For example, an app that wants to support saving an event to a calendar should not request Google Calendar access until the user presses the "Add to Calendar" button; see Incremental authorization.

After logging in, the user is asked whether they are willing to grant one or more permissions that your application is requesting. This process is called user consent.

The lawsuit against OpenAI claims the three authors “did not consent to the use of their copyrighted books as training material for ChatGPT. Nonetheless, their copyrighted materials were ingested and used to train ChatGPT.”

Whilst there are definitely improvements that could be made to Mastodon in terms of moderation tools and more fine-grained control over posting, in general these are significantly superior to the Twitter experience. It's hardly surprising that the sorts of people who have been targets for harrassment by fascist trolls for most of their lives built in protections against unwanted attention when they created a new social media toolchain.

The people re-publishing my Mastodon posts on Twitter didn't think to ask whether I was ok with them doing that. The librarians wondering loudly about how this "new" social media environment could be systematically archived didn't ask anyone whether they want their fediverse posts to be captured and stored by government institutions.

if an invitee is invited to do business in a store and is injured snooping around in the private storage area, he does not have invitee status in that area. So if the invitee is snooping around in the dark, trips and falls on something, the land occupier is not liable since the snooper exceeded the consent given him/her

Embracing consent as a core topic in psychology requires starting with a working definition of consent. For that, we can look to legal scholars who have identified three main components of consent: competence (an individual must be capable of consenting), knowledge (an individual must be appropriately informed), and freedom (an individual must agree to something voluntarily).

When downloading a lifestyle mobile app, the app asks for consent to access the phone’saccelerometer. This is not necessary for the app to work, but it is useful for the controller who wishesto learn more about the movements and activity levels of its users. When the user later revokes thatconsent, she finds out that the app now only works to a limited extent. This is an example of detrimentas meant in Recital 42, which means that consent was never validly obtained (and thus, the controllerneeds to delete all personal data about users’ movements collected this way).

he GDPR does notpreclude all incentives but the onus would be on the controller to demonstrate that consent was stillfreely given in allthe circumstances.

Other examples of detriment are deception, intimidation, coercion or significant negativeconsequences if a data subject does not consent. The controller should be able to prove that the datasubject had a free or genuine choice about whether to consent and that it was possible to withdrawconsent without detriment.

Controllers are free to develop methods to comply with this provision in a way that is fitting in theirdaily operations. At the same time, the duty to demonstrate that valid consent has been obtained bya controller, should not in itself lead to excessive amounts of additional data processing. This meansthat controllers should have enough data to show a link to the processing (to show consent wasobtained) but they shouldn’t be collecting any more information than necessary.

t is up to the controller to prove that valid consent was obtained from the data subject. The GDPRdoes not prescribe exactly how this must be done. However, the controller must be able to prove thata data subject in a given case has consented. As long as a data processing activity in question lasts, the

The EDPBrecommends as a best practice that consent should be refreshed at appropriate intervals.Providing all the information again helps to ensure the data subject remains well informed about howtheir data is being used and how to exercise their rights.

Article 7(3) of the GDPR prescribes that the controller must ensure that consent can be withdrawn bythe data subject as easy as giving consent and at any given time. The GDPR does not say that givingand withdrawing consent must always be done through the same action.

consent is obtained through use of a service-specific user interface (for example, via a website, an app,a log-on account, the interface of an IoT device or by e-mail), there is no doubt a data subject must beable to withdraw consent via the same electronic interface, as switching to another interface for thesole reason of withdrawing consentwould require undue effort.

The controller informs customers that they havethe possibility to withdraw consent. To do this, they could contact a call centre on business daysbetween 8am and 5pm, free of charge. The controller in this example doesnotcomply with article 7(3)of the GDPR. Withdrawing consent in this case requires a telephone call during business hours, this ismore burdensome than the one mouse-click needed for giving consent through the online ticketvendor, which is open 24/7.

Controllers have an obligation to delete data that was processed on the basis of consent once thatconsent is withdrawn,assuming that there is no other purpose justifying the continued retention.56Besides this situation, covered in Article 17 (1)(b), an individual data subject may request erasure ofother data concerning him that is processed on another lawful basis, e.g.on the basis of Article6(1)(b).57Controllers are obliged to assess whether continued processing of the data in question isappropriate, even in the absence of an erasure request by the data subject.

In cases where the data subject withdraws his/her consent and the controller wishes to continue toprocess the personal data on another lawful basis, they cannot silently migrate from consent (which iswithdrawn) to this other lawful basis. Any change in the lawful basis for processing must be notified toa data subject in accordance with the information requirements in Articles 13 and 14 and under thegeneral principle of transparency.

For example, as the GDPR requires that a controller must be able to demonstrate that valid consentwas obtained, all presumed consents of which no references are kept willautomatically be below theconsent standard of the GDPR and will need to be renewed. Likewise as the GDPR requires a“statement or a clear affirmative action”, all presumed consents that were based on a more impliedform of action by the data subject (e.g.a pre-ticked opt-in box) will also not be apt to the GDPRstandard of consent.

Also,mechanisms for data subjects to withdraw their consent easily must be available and informationabout how to withdraw consent must be provided.

provide a link or button (e.g. in the footer) that allows your users to reopen the consent modal and edit their preferences.

Perhaps most significantly, these latest guidelines clearly state that Cookie Walls are prohibited and that the EDPB does not consider consent via scrolling or continued browsing to be valid. 

The Cookie Law requires users’ informed consent before storing cookies on a user’s device and/or tracking them. This means that if your site/app (or any third-party service used by your site/app) uses cookies, you must: inform users about your data collection activities;give them the option to choose whether it’s allowed or not; obtain informed consent prior to the installation of those cookies.

Now you can use Google Analytics without annoying Cookie Notices.

To be fully compliant with GDPR, you would also need to enable Show Reject All Button setting.

Organizations must be transparent on the purpose of the data collection and consent must be “explicit and freely given”. This means that the mechanism for acquiring consent must be unambiguous and involve a clear “opt-in” action (the regulation specifically forbids pre-ticked boxes and similar “opt-out” mechanisms)

In order to comply with privacy laws, especially the GDPR, companies need to store proof of consent so that they can demonstrate that consent was collected. These records must show: when consent was provided;who provided the consent;what their preferences were at the time of the collection;which legal or privacy notice they were presented with at the time of the consent collection;which consent collection form they were presented with at the time of the collection.

Because consent under the GDPR is such an important issue, it’s mandatory that you keep clear records and that you’re able to demonstrate that the user has given consent; should problems arise, the burden of proof lies with the data controller, so keeping accurate records is vital.

Keeping comprehensive records that include a user ID and the data submitted together with a timestamp. You also keep a copy of the version of the data-capture form and any other relevant documents in use on that date.

With a recognisable, ever present icon, user's can easily manage their consent at any time.

Many also question how the average user with little knowledge of the GDPR will react to being asked so many questions regarding consent. Will they be confused? Probably at first. It will be up to each business to create a consent form that is easy to understand, while being at the same time comprehensive and informative

Like all other consent under the GDPR, consenting to cookies needs to be a clear affirmative action. An example is clicking through an opt-in box or choosing settings from the menu. Pay attention to not have pre-ticked boxes on the consent form!

The GDPR requires consent to be opt-in. It defines consent as “freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous” given by a “clear affirmative action.” It is not acceptable to assign consent through the data subject’s silence or by supplying “pre-ticked boxes.”

Sure, anti-spam measures such as a CAPTCHA would certainly fall under "legitimate interests". But would targeting cookies? The gotcha with reCAPTCHA is that this legitimate-interest, quite-necessary-in-today's-world feature is inextricably bundled with unwanted and unrelated Google targeting (cookiepedia.co.uk/cookies/NID) cookies (_ga, _gid for v2; NID for v3).

Explicit Form (where the purpose of the sign-up mechanism is unequivocal). So for example, in a scenario where your site has a pop-up window that invites users to sign up to your newsletter using a clear phrase such as: “Subscribe to our newsletter for access to discount vouchers and product updates!“, the affirmative action that the user performs by typing in their email address would be considered valid consent.

Make it clear that signing up is optional. Consent must be “freely given”; you may not coerce users into joining your mailing list or make it appear as if joining the list is mandatory. For this reason, you must make it clear that signing up is optional. This is especially relevant in cases where you offer free white-papers (or e-books) for download. While the user’s email address is required for the delivery of the service, signing up for your newsletter is not. In such a case, you must not make it appear as if signing-up to the newsletter list mandatory and must make it clear that it is optional.

there’s no need to send consent request emails — provided that this basis of processing was stated in your privacy policy and that users had easy access to the notice prior to you processing their data. If this information was not available to users at the time, but one of these legal bases can currently legitimately apply to your situation, then your best bet would be to ensure that your current privacy notice meets requirements, so that you can continue to process your user data in a legally compliant way.

Here’s why sending GDPR consent emails is tricky and should be handled very carefully.

In cases where you want to send more than one type of email to your users, you’re required to get additional consent specific to those uses as you must have multiple consents for multiple purposes.

In the case of DEM communications, you must obtain additional consent if also sending emails about third-party products/services in addition to your own.

Under the FTC’s CAN-SPAM Act, you do not need consent prior to adding users located in the US to your mailing list or sending them commercial messages, however, it is mandatory that you provide users with a clear means of opting out of further contact.

To ensure that this information is conveyed in a manner that remains clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive, the use of layered and just-in-time notices should be favored. However, it is important to note that the initial layer contain all of the key information needed for there to be an informed choice.

Consent receipt mechanisms can be especially helpful in automatically generating such records.

it has been inferred by many that the validity of consent could degrade over time

make it as easy to withdraw consent as to give it. The latter gets particularly interesting when considering that in some contexts, consent may be obtained “through only one mouse-click, swipe or keystroke” and therefore “data subjects must, in practice, be able to withdraw that consent equally as easily” per the WP29.

it is a question of balance — if one mouse-click was all it took to consent, is it appropriate to require a phone call during business hours to withdraw that consent? Probably not.

you may consider using tools that provide visibility into your organization’s various processing activities and how they change over time, allow for reminders to be set for refreshing consent at regular intervals, and that provide data subjects with the ability to directly control their consent preferences.

Where a processing activity is necessary for the performance of a contract.

“Is consent really the most appropriate legal basis for this processing activity?” It should be taken into account that consent may not be the best choice in the following situations:

“Until CR 1.0 there was no effective privacy standard or requirement for recording consent in a common format and providing people with a receipt they can reuse for data rights.  Individuals could not track their consents or monitor how their information was processed or know who to hold accountable in the event of a breach of their privacy,” said Colin Wallis, executive director, Kantara Initiative.  “CR 1.0 changes the game.  A consent receipt promises to put the power back into the hands of the individual and, together with its supporting API — the consent receipt generator — is an innovative mechanism for businesses to comply with upcoming GDPR requirements.  For the first time individuals and organizations will be able to maintain and manage permissions for personal data.”

CR 1.0 is an essential specification for meeting the proof of consent requirements of GDPR to enable international transfer of personal information in a number of applications.

Much like a retailer giving a customer a cash register receipt as a personal record of a purchase transaction, an organization using CR 1.0 will create a record of a consent transaction and give it to the individual. This transaction record is called a consent receipt.

CR 1.0 can be used by people to communicate consent and the sharing of personal information once it is provided.

Its purpose is to decrease the reliance on privacy policies and enhance the ability for people to share and control personal information.

Kantara’s CR 1.0 specification provides a common standard digital format for providing a record to consumers about privacy and what people have consented to.  The creation and implementation of this standardized format will promote consistent, machine and human understandable consent practices, support consent management interoperability between systems internationally and enable proof of scalable consent.

It’s useful to remember that under GDPR regulations consent is not the ONLY reason that an organization can process user data; it is only one of the “Lawful Bases”, therefore companies can apply other lawful (within the scope of GDPR) bases for data processing activity. However, there will always be data processing activities where consent is the only or best option.

Under the FTC’s CAN-SPAM Act, you do not need consent prior to adding users located in the US to your mailing list or sending them commercial messages, however, it is mandatory that you provide users with a clear means of opting out of further contact.

Under EU law (namely the GDPR) it is mandatory that you obtain the informed consent of the user before subscribing them to the service. Under EU regulations, acquiring consent can be considered a two-part process that includes informing the user and obtaining verifiable consent via an affirmative action.

The banner is not necessarily required in this specific instance if the cookie policy is easily accessible and visible from every page of the site.

A real-world example of this would be an e-commerce site that allows users to “hold” items in their cart while they’re using the site or for the duration of a session. In this scenario, the technical cookies are both necessary for the functioning of the purchasing service and are explicitly requested by the user when they indicate that they would like to add the item to the cart. Do note, however, that these session-based technical cookies are not tracking cookies.

Consent to cookies can be provided by several actions. Subject to the local authority, these actions may include continued browsing, clicking on links or scrolling the page. In many cases, clicking on “ok”, closing the banner or continued navigation of a cookie-installing website can be considered active consent to the placing of cookies — provided that users had been previously and clearly informed about this consequence.

The question is: do you have to treat the consent to the use of cookies the same way as the “regular” consent to specific data processing activities e.g. sending out newsletters?

Finally, if none of the above-mentioned options seems viable, you have to collect your Users’ consent to transfer their data outside of the EU. This is the most complicated scenario, because you have to make sure that their consent is – among other aspects – “informed”. Do you really know what is going to happen to User data once they are exported outside the EU? Can you tell, what kind of security measures are being provided by the local legislation or adopted at the data importer’s initiative to ensure protection of personal data? If you’re able to provide such information, you may ask your Users to consent to the transfer of personal data, but if you’re not able to provide it, be careful: any consent collected would not be considered “informed” and therefore void.

Implementing prior blocking and asynchronous re-activation Our prior blocking option prevents the installation of non-exempt cookies before user consent is obtained (as required by EU law) and asynchronously activates (without reloading the page) the scripts after the user consents.To use, you must first enable this feature: simply select the “Prior blocking and asynchronous re-activation” checkbox above before copy and pasting the code snippet into the HEAD as mentioned in the preceding paragraph.

However, please note the following: it will depend on how those subdomains are defined. Are they just subsections of a project that belongs together like help.example.com or blog.example.com (and many other possible arrangements that are part of one and the same setup)? In such a case, using the same policy is appropriate. Problems arise when completely different projects which have little to do with one another and whose data collection practices also differ so significantly that they require different privacy policies.

For instance, one recent blog entry from the Irish Data Protection Commission discussing events at schools borders on the absurd:“Take the scenario whereby a school wants to take and publish photos at a sports day ­– schools could inform parents in advance that photographs are going to be taken at this event and could provide different-coloured stickers for the children to wear to signify whether or not they can be photographed,” the Commission suggested. The post goes on to discuss the possibility of schools banning photographs at a high school musical, but suggests that might be unwieldy.

“In the end, GDPR is all about consent and it’s an approach to privacy that is very European,” said Kagan. “That’s not a mistake. It’s a values statement.”

The actual process is something we still need to work on so we don’t get consent fatigue.

It would be a full-time job to protect your privacy in a notice and consent model.”

Among some consumers, GDPR is perhaps best known as a bothersome series of rapid-fire, pop-up privacy notices.

consumers become blind to an avalanche of privacy pop-up notices

Currently, there is a high frequency of consent requests, privacy notices, cookie banners or cookie policies on every visited website. As a consequence of consent abuse, individuals resent a fatigue, resulting in consent loosing its purpose.

This way, personal data is more effectively protected allowing individuals to focus on the risk involved in granting authorization for the use of their personal data and to take appropriate decisions based on the risk assessment. Consequently, the burden and confusion generated by systematic consent forms is constrained.

Third, the focus should be centered on improving transparency rather than requesting systematic consents. Lack of transparency and clarity doesn’t allow informed and unambiguous consent (in particular, where privacy policies are lengthy, complex, vague and difficult to navigate). This ambiguity creates a risk of invalidating the consent.

If the PIA identifies risks or high risks, based on the specific context and circumstances, the organization will need to request consent.

U.K. Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham clearly states that consent is not the "silver bullet" for GDPR compliance. In many instances, consent will not be the most appropriate ground — for example, when the processing is based on a legal obligation or when the organization has a legitimate interest in processing personal data.

data processing limited to purposes deemed reasonable and appropriate such as commercial interests, individual interests or societal benefits with minimal privacy impact could be exempt from formal consent. The individual will always retain the right to object to the processing of any personal data at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.

organizations may require consent from individuals where the processing of personal data is likely to result in a risk or high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals or in the case of automated individual decision-making and profiling. Formal consent could as well be justified where the processing requires sharing of personal data with third parties, international data transfers, or where the organization processes special categories of personal data or personal data from minors.

This will avoid overburdening with too much information every time they access a website, navigate across the internet, download an application, or purchase goods and/or services. This may result in a certain degree of consent fatigue.

Furthermore, the consent-based regime creates an obligation to document that consent was lawfully given.

the French CNIL has reminded that consent has to be given at the time of data collection, has to be specific, and cannot be passed to another controller through a contractual relationship; it could not be bundled.

Allows you to autodetect and limit prior-blocking and cookie consent requests only to users from the EU – where this is a legal requirement – while running cookies scripts normally in regions where you are still legally allowed to do so.

Enables the blocking of scripts and their reactivation only after having collected user consent. If false, the blocked scripts are always reactivated regardless of whether or not consent has been provided (useful for testing purposes, or when you’re working on your project locally and don’t want pageviews to be counted). We strongly advise against setting "priorConsent":false if you need to comply with EU legislation. Please note that if the prior blocking setting has been disabled server side (via the checkbox on the flow page), this parameter will be ineffective whether it’s set to true or false.
