		bruno_rzn on March 1, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: How will the GDPR law handle tracking cook... Thanks a lot. Very interesting link. Same question: this iFrame would be used to store information related to the user across websites, it kind of works like a cross-domain-cookie-replacement : could GDPR make these kind of tooling illegal ? Should we display a very specific popup to tell the user what those scripts really do ? And have an opt-out option ?

Depends a lot about the data you are collecting I suppose. Not a Lawyer, don't know the use case. Can't really venture a guess on where it'd fall.

It could make this illegal for sure. On your second point, remember GDPR requires opt-in.
