Principal legal requests for websites and app owners
Privacy and cookie policy
GDPR oblige every website andmobile app to inform their users about tracking visits, through a compelte privacy and cookie policy. Privacy policy should cover some important aspects, such as:
- kind of personal information they are going to collect and manage;
- juridical basis for this treatment;
- scope of treatment and methods applied to colled data;
- subjects that can access collected data;
- possible data transmission out of Europe;
- user's rights;
- Owner's personal information.
Cookie policy describes all kinds of cookies installed through the website, possible companies they belong (along with a link to relative documentation and opt-out forms) and scope of the treatment.
Can we use an universal template?
No, you can’t. Privacy and cookie policy should refer specifically to data treatment through your software (website, app) along with a list of all of third-parts’ technologies used (i.e. buttons for Like on social networks or maps by Google Maps).
What if my website doesn't collect any information?
It’s quite impossible for a website not to collect any information. A simple contact form or a tracking system like Google Analytics are enough to oblige your website fall to respect this law and show a related policy.
Cookie law
Along with a cookie policy to make a website compliant, you need to show a cookie banner during user’s first visit to your website and get their consent to install cookies.
Some kinds of cookies (like those provided by tools of social sharing), should be released just after user’s consent.
What are cookies?
Cookies need to save information on user’s browser during his visit on the website. Today, cookies are essential for a solid website.
In addition, we often install many third-part’s technologies on our websites (such as a simple widget video for YouTube) that rely on the use of other cookies, too.
Consent
If the userhas the chance to leave his personal informations on the website or app, for example through a form (contact/registration/newsletter), you need to collect a specific and well-informed consent, and save a prove of it.
What is an intentional, specific and informed consent?
You need to collect a consent for each specific scope of treatment – for example, one consent to send newsletter by your company and one to send promotional messages belonging to third parts. Consents can be requested by preparing one or more chck-boxes without any preselected/mandatory choices, along with complete documentation to explain to visitors how you’re going to treat their data.
How can we show consent in an unequivocal way?
You need to collect a series of informations any time a user fills a form on your website/app. These informations include an identifier code for the user, the content of the privacy policy he has accepted and a copy of the form shown on the website.
Can the email I get from a user through my website be a sufficient implicit prove of the consent he gave?
Unfortunately, no. In that email there aren’t all the informations you need to indentify the right process followed to collect his consent, such as a copy of the form actually filled by the user.
