Is Digital Data Solutions GDPR compliant?
ConsentStack classifies Digital Data Solutions's trackers as essential (strictly necessary), so its banner does not block them. That is our classification, not a legal ruling. The exemption from prior consent comes from the ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) and covers only what is strictly necessary for a service the visitor asked for, and the GDPR still governs any personal data, such as an IP address, sent to Digital Data Solutions.
