1. Good piece on where business is up to on #GDPR & personalisation: linkedin.com/pulse/personal… However, #ePrivacy Directive sets out cookie consent req unless "strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested"
2. There is significant EU case law on "strict necessity", as well as some on "explicit" & "specific" consent. It does not really suggest a "take-it-or-leave-it" rather than opt-in approach to additional "services"/"intrusions" (depending on your perspective) is OK/"debatable".
3. Rather it strongly points to such an approach being NOT legally OK. That may be inconvenient to #ecommerce & even v silly on the part of #EUDataP. However, those factors alone cannot change the meaning of v specifically crafted law, albeit law widely bent (or ignored) online.
When people agonise about being ‘ready’ for #GDPR, think about this: How can anyone be ready when we are all still debating which lawful grounds for processing (consent/contractual necessity/legitimate interests) apply to some of the most common uses of data? 1/4
Aside from obvious cases, determining the lawful ground for processing is a critical aspect of #EUdataP which is extremely difficult to get right, because it rests on the correct legal interpretation of complex concepts like ‘consent’, ‘necessity’ & ‘rights and freedoms’ 2/4
But since under #GDPR you have to reveal which lawful ground you rely on, everyone is taking a view which may or may not be right in the end. We simply don’t know with 100% certainty and it will take years of enforcement and court decisions to know for sure. 3/4

Wide debate on #eprivacy right now. I see a lot of misunderstandings, let me clarify a few things (& further info: bit.ly/2i99Kd5)
Should I not be asked before my emails are accessed and used? Don't you think the same? Is this asking too much? #eprivacy
