Questions to Finnish DPA

When can an answer from Traficom be expected and will the Finnish DPA then investigate any subsequent processing that falls under the GDPR

25.03.2024
Finnish DPA information

Case is currently handled by Traficom (ePrivacy authority). Case is closed at the Finnish DPA for the time being.

27.02.2023
Response to the DPA clarifying they should investigate all the complaints also under the GDPR

In all cases personal data within the meaning of the GDPR was unlawfully processed. We consider that the DPA is competent for GDPR violations and unlawful data processing. Even though Traficom is the compentent authority for the enforcement of the national implementation of Article 5(3) ePrivacy Directive, the complaints filed do both formally and materially refer to violations of both the GDPR and the national ePrivacy legislation. We asked the DPA to investigate under the GDPR, too.

22.02.2023
DPA informed about the intention to investigate two cases under the GDPR

They will proceed with the complaints C-037-10148 (MTV Oy) and C-037-11834 (Fox Networks Group Oy) once Traficom has issued its decisions on these matters. According to the DPA, the remaining eight complaints concern matters related to the interpretation of the so called "cookie consent", and therefore they would appear to fall within the jurisdiction of Traficom.

Asked the Ombudsman to clarify if they will also investigate under the GDPR
