Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with your question by providing you with some relevant information from the web. However, I cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information, and I cannot verify the answer for you. You should always consult the official sources and documents for the CIPP/E certification exam.

Based on my web search results, the most likely answer is B. E-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC. Here is a summary of why:

The E-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC1 is a specific legal framework that complements and particularizes the general data protection principles set out in the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC1 (which has been replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/6792).

The E-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC1 covers the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector, including the use of cookies and similar technologies3.

Article 5.3 of the E-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC1 states that the storing of information, or the gaining of access to information already stored, in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned has given his or her consent, having been provided with clear and comprehensive information14.

Therefore, an entity’s website that stores text files (such as cookies) on EU users’ computer and mobile device browsers must comply with the E-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC1 and provide users with notices containing information and consent before doing so45.
