In circumstances where it is technically possible and effective to do so, users shall be able to provide their consent to data processing by means of the correct browser parameters or applications, provided that users are able to configure the settings upon installation or update with a specific action to that effect.

The foregoing shall not prevent potential technical storage or access for the sole purpose of transmitting communication via an electronic communications network or where such storage or access is strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service that has been expressly requested by the user.

A cookie is an example of these commonly used files and, as such, we will refer to these files as cookies hereinafter.

Cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from the provisions laid down in Article 22.2 of the LSSI-CE:
