Ireland-led GDPR probe of Yahoo’s cookie banners moves to draft decision review
A multi-year investigation into TechCrunch’s parent entity Yahoo — looking at compliance with key transparency requirements of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including in relation to cookie banners displayed on its media properties — has taken a step forward today after Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) announced that it has submitted a draft decision to other EU data protection agencies for review.
Following its usual procedure, the DPC has not released any details on the substance of its draft decision. In any case, the outcome is not final until other interested DPAs have weighed in — so nothing has been concluded yet. If other DPAs agree with Ireland’s draft a final decision could be issued fairly soon — maybe even in a couple of months.
