What it is: An older EU directive (predates GDPR) that specifically governs cookies and tracking technologies. Often called “the cookie law.”

What it requires: Notice and opt-in before placing tracking cookies. Strictly necessary cookies (like a shopping cart) are exempt.

How it interacts with GDPR: If you comply with GDPR-style consent, you’ll generally also satisfy ePrivacy. ConsentBit’s default config covers both.
