The reference to Section 15 (3) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), which is frequently used by advertisers to justify the permissibility of an opt-out solution for the setting of cookies, does not lead to any other result. On the other hand, the BGH did not follow the argumentation of the German supervisory authorities, according to which the TMG is no longer applicable. According to the BGH, the user&#8217;s active consent to the storage and reading of cookies is also required.  <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container con--para\">\n<p>This decision has the following implications for practice: simple cookie banners that collect cookies for a variety of third-party providers are not permitted after this. As the ECJ has already stated, active consent of the data subject is required. No consent is to be generated by merely continuing to browse a website. Even pre-ticked fields do not constitute active consent to data processing.  <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container con--para\">\n<p>With regard to the requirements of data protection law for consent, the  <br \/>European Data Protection Board has once again shown how the supervisory authorities envisage consent in concrete terms within the framework of a guidance document dated 04.05.2020.  <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container con--para\">\n<p>For questions regarding the specific implementation of consents for tracking or marketing cookies, please do not hesitate to contact us.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container con--para\">\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bundesgerichtshof.de\/SharedDocs\/Pressemitteilungen\/DE\/2020\/2020067.html;jsessionid=C620CE9D742E8F92DFD9755BCA93A7A0.2_cid368?nn=10690868\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a> for the press release of the BGH.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container con--para\">\n<p>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privacy-advice.com\/en\/about-us\/our-employees\/\">Your contact persons for data protection law<\/a>\n        <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In its ruling of 28.05.2020, the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) commented on the requirements for consent for the storage of cookies.
