The proposed text for ePrivacy Regulation Article 19 from the 4th of May, 2018 is below, covering the European Data Protection Board. This will likely change in the next month or two as they are meeting to discuss the changes to the current ePrivacy Directive. We will update accordingly. Negotiations continue about the precise text and the current version gives one year from the date of entry into force for implementation. We will post the full text when it is available.
