There is currently no detailed description as to what the definition of "sufficiently" is. For example:
- can I use your data to build a targeting machine learning model?
- can I use it to target you?
- do I need specific opt-in for every model?
Most things in GDPR are not specified in order to both give flexibility to the sites and to reduce the number of loopholes (which are technically legal but against the spirit of the law). You need to decide on the implementation and be ready to defend it in case of an audit.
Not true. There are some countries where it works like this, but also countries where it's the opposite. In some EU countries this got ruled as unconstitutional. In some other countries, this got ruled by the highest court of law as unlawful.
