Why do I have to give my consent for cookies?

The legislator requires the active consent of users for the setting of cookies and the possibility to object before even a single cookie is transferred to the computers/devices of website visitors.

This is due to the fact that when using services requiring consent, personal data is transferred to the operators of the services, which requires the explicit consent of the visitors.

If website operators do not offer this option, they make themselves legally vulnerable and it is very likely that they will sooner or later be warned with costs.
