Cookies

Hi. I have a question regarding cookies, cookie-policy and implementing a new cookiebar. Is it okay to have pre-ticked cookies as long as a webpage-user is given the opportunity to withdraw and freely refuse to accept all or some of the specific cookies? I hope my question makes sense. Thank you. Best regards, Casper

Cookies are regulated by the ePrivacy directive which requires you to inform the website visitors about the cookies which their website uses. There is a duty to inform not to get the consent, however the website owner needs to mention how can the browser be set not to accept cookies, so it works similar to a “opt out consent”.

If you choose to use consent to process the personal data collected via cookies you need to follow the requirements of consent meaning that it needs to be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the individual’s wishes, so, opt out (pre-ticked boxes are not allowed).
