For those privacy professionals out there - everything you REALLY need to know about the new EU General Data Protection Regulation in 60 minutes (or thereabouts).
At 42 minutes you'll find an opinion regarding impact of the GDPR on advertising / retargeting market and regarding the effective impact of profilling activity on individuals. good and straight forward presentation
A good condensed breakdown of the over all GDPR implications. Very useful first stop for the principles of the regulation. However, it is good practice that when presenting to a Q&A sessions; the presenter should repeat the question, otherwise the answer doesn't mean much. Definitely, worth a listen if you are giving out data; more power to the individual
This is a great video for those that have the time to watch it! We've made a similar (but much shorter video) on our channel - be happy to know your thoughts!
The current thinking is that any group of 7 or fewer people is considered "personally identifiable" - so an IP address which can be traced to a specific PC would count - that's designed specifically so that companies can't use the idea of "it was only identifiable to a household" as a get-out. This is in accord with general principles on handling statistics (see, for example www.hesa.ac.uk/about/regulation/data-protection/rounding-and-suppression-anonymise-statistics). So yes, a cookie would be considered personal data.
You didn't understand the approach. If there is only 1 user, the cookies say a lot. There must be a reason why a lot of males delete their browsing history if they share a computer.
A Cookie is a session Identifier mapping one-to-one to a single User connecting to a terminal with a specific UserID. A Cookie is in effect a respresentation of the User current Session state maintained at the client side of the transaction (the terminal used). It is by definition a PII IN THE CONTEXT of the said application.
This is a great video to watch when you need to get familiar with the GDPR and are new to the subject. I watched it a year ago, before my CIPP/E exam preparation. Very useful. It's hard to find good material to prepare you for the exam, but you can now also take a trial exam on cippexams.com.
