I meant "make cookies decisions for every website that wants to use cookies" (I just updated my comment).

The request for consent must be given ...

more precise: for every website that wants to use cookies and choose (or had to choose for lack of alternatives) consent as their justification for processing. Not all data processing requires consent.


Please can you paste the text that you think forces websites to gain consent for all cookies if that website uses cookies?

The site you linked is not the law, it's some kind of blog. But let's use this site: where does it say that all cookies require opt-in consent?


CNIL is intentionally vague, so I do not see a clear quote that demand consent form for cookies.

But this is what we know:

1) Almost all popular web sites, that serve EU audience - added personalization consent form.

2) This is what CNIL defines as "personalization"

‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

My estimate is that over 90% of popular web sites that use cookies -- use users' "personal data" (according to this definition).

That is why I wrote "website that wants to use cookies".

I, probably, should not focus on "cookies" and focus on "website personalization" instead.

Almost all popular websites use "personal data". GDPR forces these websites to present "consent form" to users, whether users want to answer that consent question or not.

I, as a user, do NOT want to be forced to see that "consent" question on my first visit of a website, but GDPR forces me to. That is abuse of government power.
