Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended) and GDPR Article 6 govern cookie consent; Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive requires prior informed consent for non-essential cookies. UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003) imposes equivalent requirements. CCPA/CPRA §1798.120 requires opt-out of 'sale' and 'sharing' of personal information, which may encompass cookie-based cross-context behavioral advertising. FTC Act Section 5 applies to deceptive consent practices.
