      Today’s judgement confirms the Belgian Data Protection Authority’s 2022 decision. It applies immediately across Europe.

      Dr Ryan of Enforce said “This decision is momentous. It creates a clear need for industry to innovate and move away from the dangerous, ineffective, and fraud-riddled racking-based advertising. RTB can operate without personal data. This decision shows that it must. This good news for every person online, and for publishers, too.”

        That’s what I read, but again, that’s just the interpretation of an european law by Belgium and Belgium only. Other european countries could rule otherwise, thus not creating any case law.

        So all is not set, but yea it might be very possible that to avoid any risks, websites go with Belgium’s rulings of what’s illegal to avoid troubles in other countries.
