The GDPR is really big on privacy, and we wrote more about it recently here. Depending on how some cookies are set up, even if they don’t specifically identify you, could still be used to single you out based on your device, location and other criteria. So cookies will still be a big part of this game of compliance.
Worse, 22% of organizations are unaware that they must comply with GDPR, even if they are based outside of the EU but hold data of EU citizens when the GDPR starts applying on May 25, 2018.
