Guideline
1) When applying CRITERION B [Ausnahme 2], it is important to examine what is strictly necessary from the point of view of the user, not the service provider.
2) If a cookie is used for several purposes, it can only benefit from an exemption to informed consent if each distinct purpose individually benefits from such an exemption.
3) First party session cookies are far more likely to be exempted from consent than third party persistent cookies. However the purpose of the cookie should always be the basis for evaluating if the exemption can be successfully applied rather than a technical feature of the cookie.
