Cookies under attack: new laws and important rulings for users!

On September 13, 2025, SV W07 fans are looking forward to an exciting home game against FC Energie Cottbus. The team has prepared well and the supporters are hungry for points in the fight for the top spot. A lot has happened in the last few weeks - first and foremost the clarification of some game details. Reports indicate that coach Müller's team is optimally positioned to stand up to their opponents. The stadium will certainly once again become a showcase for passionate football.

It is already clear that the Cologne fans are looking forward to the clash. Many remember the games of last season and are optimistic that the points will stay in the home stadium. According to the plans, VfB Stuttgart II will also be a guest in Cologne next weekend, which will further fuel interest in the city. Preliminary ticket sales show that the stadium will be full and spectators will be clamoring to support their team. An unforgettable football afternoon seems guaranteed.

Important information about cookies and data protection

At the same time, the topic of data protection is particularly topical, especially with regard to online offers, which also play a role in football. Many fans and users wonder whether their data is safe when visiting club websites. The dr-dsgvo.de blog provides exciting information and deals intensively with the question of whether cookies are considered personal data. It is noted that, under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), cookies are not specifically treated, but they are - truly - considered personal data, especially if they allow conclusions to be drawn about the identity of the user.

The Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), which has been in force since December 1, 2021, now regulates the handling of cookies in Germany in detail. The law requires user consent before cookies can be stored, unless they are technically necessary cookies. These must be clearly defined and the website operators are responsible for complying with the requirements in order to avoid severe penalties - up to 300,000 euros are possible if these regulations are violated, as can be seen on dr-datenschutz.de.

It is important that users are well informed. Cookie banners must meet the requirements of the TDDDG and also use clear wording. This ensures that users can make an informed decision. So anyone who thinks that the processing of their data is of secondary importance should be aware that cookies in combination with other data are definitely worth protecting.

Overall, it shows that there is movement in the air both in football and in the legal framework surrounding data protection. Fans and users are well advised to keep up to date with current developments - be it in the stadium or online.
