European Union’s  Direction

“Storing information or obtaining access to already stored information in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only permitted if the specific subscriber or user has given his consent after clear and extensive information in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 11 of Law 2472/ 1997, as applicable. Subscriber or user consent may be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application. The above do not prevent storage or access of any technical nature, the sole purpose of which is to carry out the transmission of a communication via an electronic communications network or which is necessary for the provision of a service to the information society, which has been explicitly requested by the user or the subscriber. With the act of the Personal Data Protection Authority (P.D.P.X.) the methods of providing information and declarations of consent are defined in particular”.

European Directive 2009/136/EK concerning the amendment of Directive 2002/58/EK regarding the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the field of electronic communications was recently incorporated into Greek Law. The integration was carried out through Law 4070/2012 (Regulations of Electronic Communications, Transport, Public Works and other provisions), which in turn amends the current Law 3471/2006 (on protection of personal data and private life in the sector of electronic communications).

According to the amendment, the currently valid par. 5 of no. 4 on "privacy":

"It is prohibited to use electronic communications networks to store information or obtain access to information stored in subscriber or user terminal equipment, in particular by installing spyware, hidden identifiers and other similar devices. Exceptionally, any storage or access of a technical nature is permitted, the sole purpose of which is to carry out or facilitate the transmission of a communication via an electronic communications network, or which is only necessary for the provision of a service to the information society, which has been explicitly requested the user or subscriber. In the latter case, the use of such provisions is only permitted if the specific subscriber or user is provided with clear and extensive information, in accordance with article 11 of Law 2472/1997, as applicable, and the data controller provides the subscriber or user with the right to refuse this processing. By an act of the Personal Data Protection Authority, the methods of providing information, providing the right to refuse or requesting consent are defined in particular.

Amended, in accordance with no. 5, par. 3 of Directive 2009/136/EK as follows:

"Storing information or obtaining access to already stored information in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only permitted if the specific subscriber or user has given consent after clear and extensive information in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 11 of Law 2472/ 1997, as applicable. Subscriber or user consent may be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application. The above does not prevent storage or access of any technical nature, the sole purpose of which is to carry out the transmission of a communication via an electronic communications network or which is necessary for the provision of a service to the information society, which has been explicitly requested by the user or the subscriber. By an act of the Personal Data Protection Authority (P.D.P.X.) the methods of providing information and declaring consent are defined in particular”.

Field of application

Both the up to now applicable wording and the new one, find field of application for all kinds of cookies, and directly affect the entire spectrum of digital marketing and online advertising.

More specifically, the applicable wording until now allowed the use of cookies under the condition of clear and extensive information to the user, without specifying exactly how the information will be carried out. As a rule, the update was carried out through relevant references in the privacy policy of the respective website.

The new wording continues to require the user to be clearly and extensively informed about the cookies that are to be installed on his device, but also introduces the parameter of the mandatory obtaining of his consent before installation (opt-in), in compliance with the European Law. At the same time, it provides for the use of the relevant privacy settings in the user's browser as a legal way of obtaining consent.

The amendment exempts from the need to obtain consent (while maintaining the need to inform the user) all types of cookies which are necessary for the proper operation of each website, in order to provide the respective service (functional cookies).

The position of the Personal Data Protection Authority

• The subscriber's or user's consent may initially be given through the internet service provider's website using appropriate mechanisms (e.g. pop-ups). Acceptance of cookies can be done once for all cookies installed by the same service provider of the information society.
• Alternatively, as stated in Law 3471/2006, "consent can also be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application". Caution! This setting is only valid if the consent of the subscriber or user is requested for each "cookie", while the prior acceptance of receiving "cookies" through default settings of the browser is not understood as consent.
• For example, web browsers or other applications, which by default reject third-party cookies and require an active choice by the users in order for them to accept both the placement and the continued transmission of information contained in cookies from specific websites , can provide valid and effective consent.
• Conversely, if the browser's default settings allow all cookies to be accepted and an action is required by the user to disable them, the requirements for consent set forth in this article are not met.
• The requirements of the article are also not satisfied by browser settings that allow the prior rejection of "cookies" from specific service providers of information society (e.g. through "black" lists predefined by the subscriber or user) or similar mechanisms that, although they provide the subscriber or user with more options, do not support their prior consent to receive "cookies" from providers that they have not blocked.
• The subscriber or user must have the possibility to withdraw his consent in the same way in which he declared it. In the text of the position, a clear separation is also made, and correspondingly with a relevant opinion issued by the Article 29 Working Group on 7/6, of cookies that are installed for the purpose of advertising and statistical analysis (web analytics - google analytics - adwords remarketing). According to the text, both of these categories of cookies do not fall under the exception of obtaining consent provided by law.
