Category narrative57 words

The NDPA does not contain a dedicated ePrivacy-style cookie/tracker consent regime, dark-pattern prohibition, opt-out signal recognition, clean-room framework, or direct-marketing suppression rule distinct from its general consent and lawful-basis provisions. NDPC's own website relies on general cookie-consent practices modelled on its statutory lawful-basis framework, but no NG-specific adtech statute or regulation was identified in this research pass.
