Читать книгу Privacy and Data Protection based on the GDPR - Leo Besemer - Страница 27

The ePrivacy Directive, in full: “Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications)”, translated the principles set out in Directive 95/46/EC into specific rules for the telecommunications sector.

To keep up with technological and legislative developments, this directive was amended in 2009 by Directive 2009/136/EC⁹, also known as “the cookie law”. Because of the clauses in GDPR Article 94, Directive 2002/58/EC and Member State law based on it are now considered to refer to the GDPR.
