Cookies in the spotlight in France:

Actual consent – in.

Continued browsing – out.

The French Data Protection Authority, CNIL, repealed its 2013 guidelines on cookies consent and announced upcoming cookies guidance will be published later this month (July).  Per the new guidance, continued browsing of a website will not suffice to indicate consent to the placement of cookies and cookies should not be placed before consent is obtained.

Read the full guidance.
