With the introduction of the GDPR, it has become mandatory to comply with certain requirements regarding the use and storage of cookies, which are considered as personal data.
Site managers and solution providers are obliged to inform Internet users and obtain their explicit consent before depositing cookies or other tracers. A record of these consents must be kept.
The law applies regardless of the type of terminal used and therefore concerns trackers placed on computers, smartphones, digital tablets and video game consoles connected to the Internet. The configuration of cookies as proposed by Fair&Smart takes into account the latest recommendations of the CNIL on the subject (automatic display of the "accept all" and "refuse all" buttons, for example).
