As part of its action plan on targeted advertisement,
the French Data Protection Authority
(Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et
des Libertés or "CNIL") is
proposing a consultation on a draft recommendation on practical
procedures for collecting user consent for the use of online
trackers1.
Following the guidelines recalling the legal provisions
that govern the use of cookies and other trackers adopted on July
4, 20192, the CNIL conducted a consultation during the
fall of 2019, in order to prepare a draft recommendation proposing
operational procedures for obtaining consent. This draft is now
subject to public consultation until February 25, 2020. At the end
of this period, a final version of the recommendation will be
presented for final adoption.
