Report by the Irish Data Protection Commission on the use of cookies and other tracking technologies
In August 2019, the Data Protection Commission (DPC) commenced an examination of the use of cookies and similar technologies on a selection of websites across a range of sectors, including media and publishing, the retail sector, restaurants and food ordering services, insurance, sport and leisure and the public sector. The purpose of the sweep survey was to request information to allow us to examine the deployment of such technologies and to establish how, and whether, organisations are complying with the law. In particular, we wanted to examine how controllers obtain the consent of users for the use of cookies and other tracking technologies.
