What the statute requires, section by section

Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC. Provisions addressed:

Art. 4: Security of processing; in the case of a personal data breach, the provider of a publicly available electronic communications service notifies the competent national authority without undue delay (and the subscriber/individual where likely to adversely affect them).
Art. 5(3): Storing information, or gaining access to information stored, on a user's terminal equipment is allowed only with prior consent (cookies).
Art. 6: Traffic data must be erased or made anonymous when no longer needed. The proposed ePrivacy Regulation remains NOT adopted as of 2026; Directive 2002/58/EC (as amended) is the operative instrument.
