It is important to understand the position of the party, as defined in the GDPR. A data controller is the entity which determines the purpose and manner for which data is processed, either by itself or alongside others. This means that the data controller determines \u2018why\u2019 data is processed.<\/p>\n<p>The data processor, on the other hand, does not make decisions as to why the data should be processed. However, it can make some limited decisions about \u2018how\u2019 the data should be processed. This means, for example, a data processor may make decisions about the type of software used in the processing, but it may not make decisions about the essential elements of the processing. A key essential element of processing is which personal data to process. Therefore, if a data processor, while assisting the data controller in achieving its purposes, decides what data should be processed to achieve those aims, it will most likely become a data controller jointly with the first controller.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                        <\/li>\r\n                                                    <li class=\"kc-topic\"><a class=\"tgg-title\">\r\n                                <div class=\"feature-less-text\">Less<\/div>Under what legal basis does the merchant or affiliate process personal information?<\/a>\r\n                        \r\n                        <div class=\"tgg-content\">\r\n                            <p><p>This is up to each party to determine.

This opt-out is possible via the cookie page on the TradeTracker domain, referred to by the merchant or publisher as indicated in their own privacy policy. This opt-out sets a functional cookie on the user\u2019s system and avoids any tracking over cookies from the TradeTracker domain. As result the user has opted-out from TradeTracker processing personal data. The result is active until the user removes the cookie from his system or provides an opt-in. There is no alternative method for TradeTracker, or any provider using similar processes due to the nature of the business and limited scope of personal data it is involved with, to otherwise avoid users being tracked by cookies.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                        <\/li>\r\n                                                    <li class=\"kc-topic\"><a class=\"tgg-title\">\r\n                                <div class=\"feature-less-text\">Less<\/div>What is the difference between cookie consent and data consent?<\/a>\r\n                        \r\n                        <div class=\"tgg-content\">\r\n                            <p><p>On one hand, cookie consent is required for placing any non-functional cookie, irrespective of whether personal data is included in such cookie.

The processing of personal data and consent for cookies however are two separate things to consider.<\/p>\n<p>For the use of cookies, consent is (usually) required under the ePrivacy Directive. Cookies placed by TradeTracker do not contain personal data, but may be considered personal themselves. Hence, they are not subject to data consent which is another legal basis for processing personal data. As per our Terms and Conditions for publishers, they are required to obtain consent for cookies. TradeTracker assumes the publisher has obtained the visitor&#8217;s consent for cookies unless TradeTracker is informed otherwise. If cookies are accepted, the tracking may occur via cookies.<\/p>\n<p>In certain countries, like the Netherlands, affiliate cookies are exempted from requiring consent as required under the current ePrivacy Directive. Hence, the explicit consent is not required for this type of cookies unless they contain personal data.<\/p>\n<p>TradeTracker makes use of cookies and other non-cookie-based tracking methods. Unless there is an explicit opt-out for the TradeTracker tracking services (under the opt-out for personal data processing), various tracking methods like fingerprint may be used since they do not require explicit consent from the user.
