GDPR question…

If I have a piece of UX with a “hide this…” button - if when you press that button I drop a cookie so I know you want that UX hidden, do I need a #GDPR permission box notifying the user of cookies?

If it’s dropping a cookie that literally says “panel=hide”, and contains no other personal information, I assume that I do not, because GDPR only covers personally-identifiable information. This is not that; and I currently drop zero cookies for an anonymous user (unless they log in, which is different and where I get their permission). I don’t believe a “panel=hide” cookie can be used to track any user.

Does anyone believe different? @benjaminbellamy ?

Could this precedent (https://www.wearequeeraf.com/a-trans-refugees-court-case-against-hungary-just-improved-trans-rights-across-all-of-europe/) be used to push all EU countries to recognize a third legal gender?

I've always thought about it from a legislative angle, but a judicial approach may also be promising. Something to think about at least.

I like the idea of #Docs, an #OpenSource alternative to Google Docs developed by the French and German governments, compliant with #GDPR, and hosted outside the US.
https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr

But I'm having trouble finding reviews, perhaps because it's new or because it has such a generic name. Can anyone point to helpful reviews?

Is there a GDPR-friendly way to set up (self hosted) a free, minimalist Git source code management system without registration (just for me as the admin), possibly including templates for a privacy policy?

I want to move away from Github.

What I know I could do better. I should:
- have made it shorter. It was too long, it shouldn't be more than 10 minutes
- not have read the response of the Brazilian judge of the Supreme Court answering the US will ban him from entering the country
- have mentioned the important legal case won by @Freiheitsrechte in a Berlin court against X and mentioned the importance of the European legislation on such cases (DPA and GDPR)
- have made it more fluid

Feedback and suggestions welcome.

P. S. I just discovered that the video is available on PeerTube, so I changed the previous link from YouTube. Nice!

#apple denies my deletion request for my developer account, because they want to keep the data.

Fuck you apple

Has anyone good ideas how I can force them to do so? #GDPR art 17 gives me the right to do so, but what is the best way?

I always said that the #GDPR will be a selling point, not a hindrance :) And I am optimistic that the EU AI regulations will be the same.

Voss and Schrems team up to propose three-layered #GDPR revision:

This would consist of three different layers:

A 'Mini-GDPR' layer would cover 90% of businesses, with less documentation, simplified transparency.

A 'Normal GDPR' layer, maintaining most existing rules, would apply to companies that "process sensitive personal data or operate at a larger scale."

Finally, a 'GDPR plus' layer would cover VLOPs. These would be subject to mandatory external audits"

Der Europäische Datenschutzausschuss (EDSA) hat heute seine europaweite koordinierte Durchsetzungsmaßnahme „Coordinated Enforcement Framework“ (CEF) für das Jahr 2025 gestartet. Insgesamt nehmen 32 Datenschutzaufsichtsbehörden aus Europa teil. @lfdi macht mit: „Wir wollen dabei helfen, dass die Rechte der Bürgerinnen und Bürger gestärkt werden und dass Verantwortliche Hilfestellungen bekommen, wie das Recht auf Löschung umgesetzt werden kann. Wir werden in diesem Jahr mit Veranstaltungen und Handreichungen zum Recht auf Löschung zusätzliche Unterstützung anbieten.“
