Helpful Information:

  • https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/index_en

    The Digital Markets Act (DMA) establishes a set of clearly defined objective criteria to identify “gatekeepers”. Gatekeepers are large digital platforms providing so called core platform services, such as for example online search engines, app stores, messenger services. Gatekeepers will have to comply with the do’s (i.e. obligations) and don’ts (i.e. prohibitions) listed in the DMA.

    The DMA is one of the first regulatory tools to comprehensively regulate the gatekeeper power of the largest digital companies. The DMA complements, but does not change EU competition rules, which continue to apply fully.

  • GDPR Cookie Consent

    The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive (ePR) affect how you as a website owner may use cookies and online tracking of visitors from the EU.

    The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU legislation that governs all collection and processing of personal data from individuals inside the EU.

    Under the EU’s GDPR, it is the legal responsibility of website owners and operators to make sure that personal data is collected and processed lawfully.

    A website outside of the EU is required to comply with the GDPR if it collects data from users inside the EU.

    Even though cookies are mentioned only once in the GDPR, cookie consent is nonetheless a cornerstone of compliance for websites with EU-located users.

    This is because one of the most common ways for personal data to be collected and shared online is through website cookies. The GDPR sets out specific rules for the use of cookies.

    That’s why end-user consent to cookies is the GDPR’s most used legal basis that allows websites to process personal data and use cookies.

    The GDPR requires a website to only collect personal data from users after they have given their explicit consent to the specific purposes of its use.

    Websites must comply with the following GDPR cookie requirements:

    Prior and explicit consent must be obtained before any activation of cookies (apart from whitelisted, necessary cookies).

    Consents must be granular, i.e. users must be able to activate some cookies rather than others and not be forced to consent to either all or none.

    Consent must be freely given, i.e. not allowed to be forced.

    Consents must be as easily withdrawn as they are given.

    Consents must be securely stored as legal documentation.

    Consent must be renewed at least once per year. However, some national data protection guidelines recommend more frequent renewal, e.g. 6 months. Check your local data protection guidelines for compliance.

    Typically, GDPR cookie compliance is achieved on websites through cookie banners that allow users to select and accept certain cookies for activation rather than others, when visiting a site.

  • The primary change in version 2 of Google Consent Mode is the addition of two new permissions:

    ad_personalization

    ad_user_data

    These two permissions are both mapped to the "marketing" cookie category. That means that the Cookie script will automatically send the appropriate signals to Google Tag Manager on consent submission.

  • Originally, Consent Mode was designed to achieve compliance with data privacy laws with minimal impact on data collection for your domain. However, as of March 2024, companies using Google services will need to be able to signal that they have obtained users' consent before being able to serve ads with personalization functionality.

    Consent Mode currently supports the following Google services:

    Google Analytics

    Google Ads (Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Remarketing)

    Google Tag Manager

    gtag

    Floodlight

    Conversion linker

Consent Durations

While the GDPR does not specify a specific time limit for consent durations, the French Data Protection Authority, CNIL, recommends retaining user choices for a period of six months (180 days) as a best practice. The Ark Racing Website is set to (180 days) in accordance to best practices adopted by the CNIL.
