Later this month, namely on 25 May is the deadline for transposing Directive 2009/136/EC on privacy in telecommunications.
foreseen that should enter into force in Spain a new regulation on the use of these elements, called cookies, which have been conceptualized as files and / or programs installed on the hard disk of a computer, by navigating Internet, that allows to know where to navigate the user, and recognizing certain information data, such as a password or username, the basic purpose of being able to focus on marketing strategies and online advertising, once referred to as Behavioural Advertising, according to the directive above.
Our legislation on this subject is found in Law 34/2002 of July 11, Services Information Society and Electronic Commerce, only standard to date regulating the use of Internet and problems arising therefrom. It is in this Act which in its Article 22.2, it is stated that providers servicios, (entendidos como transmisores de contenido a través de redes de telecomunicación), que empleen dispositivos de almacenamiento y recuperación de datos en equipos terminales, (cookies) informarán de manera clara y completa sobre su utilización y finalidad, ofreciéndoles la posibilidad de rechazar el tratamiento de datos mediante un procedimiento sencillo y gratuito. Por lo tanto, actualmente sólo es necesario informar sobre la existencia de las cookies y sobre cómo pueden evitarse.
La gran novedad es que a partir de ahora, dada la Directiva se introducirá la obligación de obtener un consentimiento informado del usuario antes de instalarlas, no bastando con la referencia a su existencia y forma Removal of them, in an attempt by the legislature to protect privacy (personal data) of the user surf the web regardless, as always, everything behind.
Member States should ensure that only the storing of information, or obtaining access to information already stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user, provided that the subscriber or user has given consent after it has been given clear and comprehensive information, particularly about the purposes of processing data in accordance with the provisions of Directive 95/46/EC. This does not prevent any storage or access of a technical nature for the sole purpose of making the transmission of a communication through an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary in order that a service provider of the information society provides a service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user.
Therefore, the directive affects which is therefore essential that consumers must be clear and complete information when making a move that could lead to such storage or gaining access, should be how to facilitate information and offering the right of refusal, the simplest possible for the user. Exceptions the obligation to provide information and propose the right to refuse to be limited to situations where the storage or access is strictly necessary to the legitimate aim of allowing the use of a specific service specifically requested by the subscriber or user.
In the English case as we see the need to tackle the reform of the aforementioned rules for the updating of this new legislation.
Finally, just be satisfied with what's in the Working Group's view of Article 29, which since long ago is asking that the rules contemplate and requires consent of the Internet in a manner to be installed prior to any type of cookie in your browser, as a sufficient measure to ensure consumer privacy.
