GDPR - Do I have to log user&#39;s IP after consent for a cookie?
<p>Do I really have to log a user's IP address and a timestamp after they consent to a cookie?</p>

<p>Log example: <code>20.05.2018 18:56:32 - 127.0.0.1 - Cookie accepted</code></p>

<p>I don't even need (I'm not using it in any way) personal data like IP address in my website.</p>

<p>No.</p>

<p>That is spelled out pretty clear in <a href="https://gdpr-info.eu/art-11-gdpr/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Article 11</a>.</p>

<p>In fact, if you want follow accepted data minimisation principles (and you should), you should <em>not</em> log <em>anything</em> about cookies at your or a third party's website.</p>
