Document background
The Cookie Consent Policy serves as a mandatory legal document for organizations operating websites or digital platforms in Saudi Arabia. This policy document has become increasingly important following the implementation of the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) in March 2023, which established stricter requirements for data collection and processing. The Cookie Consent Policy must clearly inform users about the types of cookies being used, obtain explicit consent for non-essential cookies, and provide mechanisms for users to manage their preferences. The document should be regularly updated to reflect changes in technology, business practices, and regulatory requirements, while ensuring compliance with Saudi Arabian data protection laws and regulations. Organizations need to implement this policy to maintain transparency, protect user privacy, and avoid potential legal issues related to unauthorized data collection.
