This is issue #6 of A MoFo Privacy Minute Q&A: China PIPL Edition, where we answer questions about China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) in sixty seconds or less.Question: Is the use of cookie banners becoming a common practice to collect consent?Answer: We do see increased usage in China of “cookie banners”—a term describing various types of banners or pop-ups notifying users and obtaining their consent for deployment of cookies—among Chinese subsidiaries of multinational groups, reflecting a wish to align GDPR and PIPL compliance practices. That said, the use of such banners is not yet common in China, nor is it expressly required under PIPL, at least not yet. As PIPL is, in many respects, modeled on European rules, it is possible that China could adopt a European-like cookie consent requirement in the future.Visit our newly launched <a href="/china-privacy-data-security" target="_self">China Privacy and Data Security Resource Center</a> to stay up to date on legal and business analysis related to the latest China privacy and data topics.

This helps tremendously with contract negotiations.”“Chuan Sun has extensive experience in the technology space. Many other competitor firms in the technology space are not really pure IT lawyers, as they are more focus on privacy and trade marks or other related fields, as opposed to technology contracts such as SAP or Microsoft software license agreements. A normal general commercial lawyer would not be able to identify the same issues or raise the right questions, as they are not equipped with the technology know-how of the products and services, their benefits, and general industry standard terms and trending patterns in the market.” Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2020
