CookiePro helps organizations of all sizes simplify time to follow recent cookie guidance provided by the Irish DPC. With a purpose-built suite of technology solutions, your organization can get up and running with a cookie banner and preference center to follow guidelines.
The DPC is the Irish supervisory authority for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and also has functions and powers related to other important regulatory frameworks including the Irish ePrivacy Regulations and the EU Directive known as the Law Enforcement Directive.
In April 2020, the DPC shared new guidance on the use of cookies and tracking technologies, this included a report which indicated that there will be an increase in enforcement against non-compliant business after the compliance grace-period, ending on October 5, 2020.
