The European Data Protection Board issued a binding decision on 28 May 2026 requiring the Belgian DPA to evaluate a NOYB complaint about VRT's cookie banners on the merits rather than dismiss it on procedural grounds. The decision found no abuse of rights under Art.77 and Art.80(1) GDPR and instructed the Belgian DPA to submit a new draft decision to the Austrian DPA under Art.60(3) GDPR.
Why it matters: The ruling clarifies DPAs must assess cookie banner complaints substantively, strengthening enforcement of GDPR consent requirements.
