Practical Implementation Tips

  • PSP: never store raw card data; transaction IDs suffice.

  • Consent flows: separate checkboxes for IYS marketing consent; log timestamp/source.

  • Cookie banner: category-based opt-in (Strictly Necessary / Analytics / Functional / Marketing).

  • Data minimization: make T.R. ID and DoB optional/off by default unless legally required.

  • Cross-border tools: document Art. 9 basis (adequacy/contractual safeguards/consent).

  • Evidence: keep inventory, consent logs, and destruction reports.
