Cookies are also operated by the US companies Google LLC and FB Inc., which process data in the USA. By agreeing to the use of cookies from these providers, you also expressly consent to the processing of your data by these companies in the USA (Art 49 Paragraph 1 lit a GDPR). The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has not certified the USA as having an adequate level of data protection (judgment C-311/18). In particular, the ECJ criticized the fact that the access options for US authorities provided for in US law are not limited to what is absolutely necessary, that there are no judicial authorizations for such access and that EU citizens have no effective legal remedies. There is therefore a risk that your data will also be subject to access by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes.
