Directive on privacy and electronic communications (ePrivacy)

This edition is built around the article text of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended by 2009/136/EC), pin-cited and linked into the full drafting history, the Dutch Telecommunications Act that implements it, the predecessor directive, recitals, CJEU and national case law, and EDPB/WP29 guidance.

What this edition bundles

  • Implementation — the national implementing law — for the Netherlands, the relevant chapter of the Telecommunications Act, including the cookie-consent and unsolicited-communications rules;
  • Recitals — read against the articles they explain;
  • Decisions — CJEU judgments and national court rulings interpreting confidentiality of communications, traffic and location data, the cookie rule and direct marketing, and supervisory decisions as they emerge;
  • Guidance — from the EDPB and the Article 29 Working Party, and the national authorities.
