– The legal conclusions of the exam
– Recommendations of modifications, drafting of cookie policy to adapt the information about cookies that should be provided to users, which generally consists of an information banner of cookies at a first layer and a draft of a cookie policy at a second layer.
Once the report is received, telephone or email inquiries may be made for half an hour to facilitate the implementation of the recommendations.
