Guidelines published on data processing using cookies
The FDPIC has published guidelines on data processing using cookies and similar technologies. The guidelines, which are aimed at a specialist audience, describe the data protection requirements for the use of cookies and similar technologies by private controllers, with specific references to the special provisions applicable to federal bodies. The Commissioner derives these requirements from the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP SR 235.1), the Data Protection Ordinance (DPO SR 235.11), the data protection provisions of special federal legislation, as well as from the case law of the Federal Supreme Court, the relevant schools of thought and his previous supervisory practice.
