Show answer
Answer
- B When loading, data such as the IP address is transferred to the provider, often without visitors having consented
Explanation
Embedded content is loaded from the provider's server, which receives data and often sets cookies. That is why prior consent is usually required, for example via a two-click solution. The assessment in the individual case is made by the data protection officer or legal counsel.
