They will cover many scenarios” – quite an understatement regarding the EDPB’s new guidelines on Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (expanding its scope from cookies and the like to even IP addresses, URLs, pixels and more, through a broad interpretation of what “access” is).
Before publishing an analysis of the “content” part of the guidelines themselves (that’s for next week), it is important to have a discussion on the EDPB’s competence from a legal perspective: on what basis did it adopt these guidelines? Does it even have the authority to do so?
Looking forward to an exchange of views on this.
