However, when it comes to the use of analytics technologies such as Google Analytics, the compliance requirements are less clear given the added applicability of the EU “Cookies Directive” (formally, the EU Directive 2002/58/EC) which regulates the use of cookies alongside GDPR-imposed consent requirements. Although implementation of the Cookies Directive varies from country to country in the EU, a decision issued by one national authority can be suggestive of future action.

The deadline for switching to the [new EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC)](https://www.outsidegc.com/blog/eu-scc-international-data-transfers) for data transfers between the EU and non-EU countries is December 27, 2022. As of that date, data controllers and processors around the world that process the personal data of EU residents will no longer be able to rely on the old SCCs without violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In other words, companies are legally obligated to **replace all previously used SCCs with the new ones**,** **and should be able to demonstrate having done so in case of an audit. ** ** [Continue Reading](https://62401.hs-sites.com/blog/important-compliance-deadline-for-u.s.-companies-handling-eu-data-outside-gc) [![Ensuring GDPR Compliance on International Transfers of EU Data](https://62401.hs-sites.com/hubfs/Padlock-over-EU-map%2c-symbolizing-the-EU-General-Data-Protection-Regulation-or-GDPR.-Designed-to-harmonize-data-privacy-laws-across-Europe.-962908284_1256x837.jpeg) ](https://62401.hs-sites.com/blog/gdpr-and-international-transfers-of-eu-data-outside-gc) ## [Ensuring GDPR Compliance on International Transfers of EU Data](https://62401.hs-sites.com/blog/gdpr-and-international-transfers-of-eu-data-outside-gc) June 2, 2022 at 1:28 PM - [EU personal data](https://62401.hs-sites.com/blog/topic/eu-personal-data), If your U.S.-based company collects or otherwise has access to the personal data of European residents, you may be asked by your European clients or U.S.-based clients who give you access to such data to complete a “Schrems” questionnaire to assess potential exposure to U.S. surveillance and other laws, such as FISA 702 or EO 12333.
