What ruling did the Planet 49 CJEU Judgment make regarding the issue of pre-ticked boxes?

Answer options

• A. They are allowed if determined to be technically necessary.
• B. They do not amount to valid consent under any circumstances.
• C. They are allowed if recorded in the register of processing activities.
• D. They constitute valid consent if the processing is necessary for purposes of legitimate interest.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the ruling states that pre-ticked boxes do not provide valid consent. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest conditions under which pre-ticked boxes could be valid, which contradicts the CJEU's decision.
