Eprivacy Directive Exemptions Explained

Summary

The ePrivacy Directive in Croatia generally applies to electronic communications, but personal or household activities are typically exempt. For personal portfolio websites, if only local storage is used for theme preferences and no personal data is tracked, compliance requirements are minimal. Explicit consent may not be necessary, but its advisable to mention local storage use in the privacy policy. The directive does not explicitly state exemptions, but they are inferred from its context. Personal websites not used for commercial purposes are less likely to face fines if they comply with basic data protection regulations.

Has any individual ever been fined for a personal portfolio website
Case Rating: *
It's quite unlikely that an individual has been fined specifically for a personal portfolio website, especially if it complies with basic data protection regulations and does not involve commercial activities or extensive data processing. If your website is purely personal and adheres to the minimal requirements, such as disclosing the use of local storage for theme preferences in your privacy policy, you should be in a good position.
