Is consent required for cookie files?
Where a cookie relates to the visitor's identification and no other statutory basis applies, the processing rests on the subject's consent. The law defines consent as a freely and clearly expressed will, given by an active action for a specific purpose after receiving the relevant information.
Can consent be embedded in another document?
Including written consent in a broader document is allowed, but the consent text must be in clear, simple and understandable language and separated from the rest of the document. It is also assessed whether consent is an essential condition of the service and whether the service can be received without it.
How should the withdrawal mechanism work?
Withdrawal must be free of charge, simple and accessible, including in the same form in which consent was given. After withdrawal, processing stops immediately and the data are deleted or destroyed, unless the law provides otherwise.
What fine threatens for breaching the consent rules?
The breach results in a warning or a fine: up to 1 000 lari for subjects with annual turnover up to 500 000 lari, up to 2 000 lari above that threshold, and with an aggravating circumstance 2 000 and 4 000 lari respectively.
