The ICO has published its final detailed, practical guidance on consent under the GDPR. The GDPR sets a high standard for consent and this guidance is designed to help organisations to decide when to rely on consent for processing and when to look at alternatives. It explains what counts as valid consent, how to obtain and manage consent in a way that complies with the GDPR and the ICO’s general recommended approach to compliance and good practice. This guidance sits alongside the ICO Guide to the GDPR.
