An exception to the obligation to obtain consent is the case of storing and accessing to information whose sole purpose of “carrying out a transmission of communication via an electronic information network or is necessary for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the user or subscriber”. In practice, consent is not required for cookies which are considered technically necessary to connect to the website or to provide the internet service requested by the user.
