CNIL publishes cookie wall evaluation scheme

France's data protection authority, the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés, released its criteria for evaluating the legal use of third-party cookie walls. The criteria features four considerations based on informed consent, including alternative access to content, the price of that access, paid access without cookie placement and potential embedded consent overrides. The CNIL said the criteria hones in on "the most commonly observed practices" and the criteria is to be applied "as part of a case-by-case analysis."
