Cookie package for WordPress

Following the Schrems II ruling in July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union established that transfers of personal data to third countries, especially the USA, can no longer be based on the former Privacy Shield agreement. This means companies and organisations that transfer personal data outside the EU must find alternative legal grounds for the transfer to make sure it is lawful under the GDPR.

What makes this particularly complicated is that the ruling does not specify exactly what “browsing behaviour” means. This creates uncertainty about what type of data is covered and requires organisations to be extra careful when processing and transferring personal data.

To comply with the new requirements, companies and organisations need to understand the risks and take action to make sure their websites are in line with the latest data protection legislation. This means implementing stronger consent and making sure visitors can give specific consent to the processing of their personal data.
