Legal Bases

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European law that governs all collection and processing of personal data from individuals within the European Union.
Under the GDPR, website owners – such as TC Stade Luxembourg – must ensure that personal data is collected and processed lawfully and transparently.

The GDPR defines specific rules for the use of cookies:

• the tcstade.lu website only collects users’ personal data after they have given their explicit consent for specific purposes;

• consent must be given freely, without coercion;

• consents must be able to be withdrawn as easily as they were given;

• consents must be securely stored as legal reference documents.
