Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended) and national implementations require prior informed consent for non-essential cookies. GDPR Arts. 6 and 7 govern consent requirements. UK PECR (SI 2003/2426) imposes equivalent cookie consent requirements for UK users. CCPA/CPRA treats cookie-based tracking that constitutes a 'sale' or 'sharing' of personal information as triggering opt-out rights. The FTC has issued guidance on online tracking and endorsement of Global Privacy Control (GPC) as a valid opt-out signal. (2)
