Privacy & Cookies — Amendment 13 to the Privacy Protection Law
- Legal basis: Amendment 13 to the Privacy Protection Law, 5741-1981, which came into effect in August 2025 and introduced significant reforms concerning privacy, cookies, targeting, and digital data collection in Israel.
- Cookie consent: If the website uses cookies for marketing, analytics (such as Google Analytics), or targeting, it must display an active cookie banner that allows visitors to accept or decline cookies, rather than merely notifying them.
- Privacy Policy: An up-to-date Privacy Policy must be published, explaining what personal data is collected, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and how long it is retained.
- Cookie Policy: A specific Cookie Policy should be published detailing the types of cookies used, their purposes, and any relevant third-party services.
- Third-party data sharing: The privacy documentation should identify relevant third parties with whom personal data may be shared, such as shipping companies, payment providers, email platforms, and analytics tools.
- Digital forms: Forms such as Book an Appointment or Request Access should include an active consent checkbox before personal information is submitted, with the checkbox linked to the Privacy Policy.
- Privacy Protection Officer: The obligation to appoint a Privacy Protection Officer generally applies to entities processing personal data on a significant scale or to public bodies. This may not generally apply to a business of the size of Shenkrait & Co., although legal counsel should confirm the requirement if sensitive or extensive personal data is collected.
