With the publication in the BOE (Official State Gazette) of Royal Decree-Law 13/2012, dated March 30, a series of modifications have been made to the Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSICE), which, among other things, affect the use of cookies and commercial email communications. With this Royal Decree, which transposes several European directives, Spain, like all member states of the European Union, adapts to European Directive 2009/136/EC, “amendment to the European Directive on the processing and retention of data and the protection of privacy in electronic communications” Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002. Service providers may use data storage and retrieval devices on recipients’ terminal equipment, provided that they have given their consent after being provided clear and complete information about their use, particularly regarding the purposes of the data processing, in accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999, of December 13, on the Protection of Personal Data.
