The use of cookies and other tracking tools presents website operators with a variety of challenges. In order to counteract the legal uncertainties that exist in this regard, the German Bundestag passed the Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (in short: "Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act - TTDSG") in May 2021. In particular, the Act is intended to bundle the data protection regulations of the Telemedia Act (TMG) and the Telecommunications Act (TKG) into a single law. It will come into force on 1 December 2021.
