Certified Information Privacy Professional – Europe (CIPP/E) — Question 24
A mobile device application that uses cookies will be subject to the consent requirement of which of the following?
Answer options
- A. The ePrivacy Directive
- B. The E-Commerce Directive
- C. The Data Retention Directive
- D. The EU Cybersecurity Directive
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A, The ePrivacy Directive, as it specifically addresses the use of cookies and the necessity of obtaining user consent prior to their use. The other options do not directly relate to the consent requirements for cookies; The E-Commerce Directive focuses on online business regulations, the Data Retention Directive pertains to data storage policies, and the EU Cybersecurity Directive addresses security measures rather than cookie consent.
