Cookies And The Protection Of Personal Data Under The Gdpr

Authors : Dahmani Samir .

Abstract

Cookie Tracking allows website owners to collect and store huge amounts of information about users during a connection to a website, in order to make it easier to browse and to track the behavior of each user in a very precise way. In fact, this information contains personal data including the IP or email address, first and last name, images, geographical data of the visitor (GPS), or even his behavior on the visited website (devices, links, web pages consulted, etc.), which may be used by third parties , which could pose a security risk. However, these practices are currently strictly regulated by the GDPR, which oversees all collection and processing of personal data from individuals within the EU.
