Service providers may use data storage and retrieval devices in terminal equipment of the recipients, provided that they have given their consent after being provided with clear and complete information about their use, in particular, about the purposes of data processing, in compliance with the current legal regulations on personal data protection.

The above shall not prevent possible storage or access of a technical nature for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or, to the extent strictly necessary, for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the recipient.
