The clock is ticking for businesses in Italy when it comes to GDPR compliance<\/a>. On July 10, 2021, the Italian Data Protection Authority (\u2018Il Garante\u2019) announced its final guidelines on cookies and other tracking technologies. Organizations must achieve compliance within the stipulated six-month timeframe, where now two months have gone by. These guidelines refer to the implementation of the consent requirements of the ePrivacy Directive in Italian law (art. 122 of the Personal Data Protection Code). They are a welcome update to the 2014 Garante\u2019s guidelines.<\/p>\n

Any company with headquarters in Italy, or which targets Italian data subjects, must ensure their cookie banner complies with the Italian DPA\u2019s cookie guidelines before the deadline.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This updated guidance follows updates to guidelines from other major DPAs across the EU. For example: France\u2019s CNIL<\/a>, Ireland\u2019s DPC, Spain\u2019s AEPD<\/a> and Denmark\u2019s Datatilsynet<\/a>. Although there are some common features amongst these guidelines, the most important issue to note is that these changes do not only affect the country where they have been set, but also organizations that process personal data of subjects in these countries<\/strong>. These guidelines set the tone for how compliant consent must be obtained.<\/p>\n

Usercentrics supports the Italian DPA\u2019s new guidelines and has updated our Consent Management Platform<\/a> (CMP) accordingly. When the CMP is closed by clicking on the \u201cX\u201d on the first layer, only necessary cookies are loaded for the user. The corresponding configuration option will be available with the next Admin Interface released.<\/p>\n

In order to help you understand what has changed with the finalized guidelines, we have compiled the following list of key takeaways. Now you can begin to make sure that your website is compliant with the latest rules regarding cookies and the setting of tracking technologies in Italy as well as abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n
