In addition, the German Federal Cabinet adopted the Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutzgesetz – TTDSG) and has provided new rules on cookies and similar technologies.

It has introduced two categories of cookies: (1) strictly necessary cookies and (2) consent-based cookies. The legal basis of legitimate interests cannot be relied upon for cookies anymore. Germany will be the last member state to transpose Article 5(3) of the Directive 2002/58/EC, amended by Directive 2009/136/EC (ePrivacy Directive) into national law. Organizations that are active in Germany should get ready for the new TTDSG, which does not include a grace period.

- Summarise the ePrivacy directive with a comparison of how this has been implemented in other EU member states
- Outline the new rules and changes

The session will be conducted in German and conclude with a Q&A. We invite you to join in a discussion with peers across multiple industries.
