After the cookie regulation directives announced last July, as of January 10, 2022, it became mandatory to comply with the new cookie policy for everyone with a website.
The new regulations of the Privacy Guarantor concern confidentiality and theacquisition of users’data for profiling.
Specifically, the aspects to be updated are banner and static cookies. In addition, methods for collecting users’ consent for tracking their actions need to be reviewed.
So, here are the changes to be made:
- activate Cookie Preferences
- update the Cookie Solution
- integrate the new code on the site
Our agency has already adapted all of its clients ‘ sites so as not to incur unpleasant fines.
Read the news:
Isola di Comunicazione Has already complied with the new cookie and GDPR regulations of July 2021
In fact, those who fail to update to the new rules risk heavy penalties as well.
A website not adjusted to the new cookie policy risks heavy penalties
Failure to comply with the new 2022 cookie policy exposes the site owner to the possibility of receiving significant penalties. These, depending on the type of noncompliance, can be of varying degrees. Below are the main ones:
- €6, 000 to €36,000 if the disclosure is not explicitly included on the site or is missing important data;
- €10,000 to €120,000 if cookies are installed without the user’s prior consent;
- €20,000 to €120,000 if you fail to notify the Guarantor of the use of proprietary cookies;
Fortunately, these are fines that can be easily avoided. Simply maintain proper online behavior and stay up-to-date.
