CNIL Calls Organizations to Audit their Sites and Apps for Cookie Compliance
French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) announced that it sent letters and emails to approximately 300 organizations, both private and public, to remind them of the new cookie law rules and the need to audit sites and apps to comply with those rules by March 31, 2021.
On October 1, 2020, the CNIL published a revised version of its guidelines on cookies and similar technologies, its final recommendations on the practical modalities for obtaining users’ consent to store or read non-essential cookies and similar technologies on their devices and a set of questions and answers regarding the Recommendations. The CNIL decided to allow for a transition period of six months to comply with the Guidelines (i.e., until March 31, 2021), and announced that it will carry out inspections to enforce the Guidelines after that transition period.
