The ePrivacy Directive, also known as the Cookie Law, is the EU legislation that regulates the use of cookies and other tracking technologies on websites and mobile applications. The ePrivacy Directive states that the use of cookies on websites and mobile applications is conditioned upon the prior consent of users, unless the cookies are strictly necessary for the provision of the service. Users must also be given clear and comprehensive information about the purposes of the cookies and the means to refuse them. The ePrivacy Directive complements the GDPR, which also applies to the processing of personal data through cookies, but does not specifically address the consent requirement for cookies. The other answer choices are not relevant to the consent requirement for cookies, as they regulate different aspects of the digital economy and society. The E-Commerce Directive establishes the legal framework for online services in the EU, such as information society services, electronic contracts, and liability of intermediaries. The Data Retention Directive requires telecommunication providers to retain certain data for a period of time for the purpose of law enforcement and national security. The EU Cybersecurity Directive aims to enhance the security of network and information systems across the EU, by setting common standards and obligations for operators of essential services and digital service providers.
