Legal Implications for Non-Compliance
The importance of compliance was underscored by a recent court case involving LinkedIn and Microsoft. In a summary proceeding, the Amsterdam District Court ruled that large internet companies must obtain permission to place tracking cookies, even if they are placed via first parties. This ruling highlights the responsibility of companies to secure consent, irrespective of third-party involvement.
The case centered on LinkedIn and Microsoft’s use of tracking cookies through their marketing services. Despite the companies‘ claims that they were not the controllers for these cookies, the court ruled that they are still responsible for obtaining valid consent.
