> EasyWebinar and GDPR: registration data, webinar recordings, attendance tracking cookies, US transfers and consent guidance for European marketers. > > Canonical: https://www.flowconsent.com/en/services/video/easywebinar Video # EasyWebinar Marketing · [Official website](https://easywebinar.com) EasyWebinar is a US-based live and automated webinar platform used by European marketers for lead generation, product demos and online training. It loads JavaScript on registration and webinar pages, sets cookies for attendance tracking and engagement, records sessions, and processes attendee data on US infrastructure. For European publishers, EasyWebinar raises the typical webinar privacy concerns: consent for tracking, lawful basis for recordings, US transfer documentation and special category data exposure when health, financial or legal topics are discussed.

European companies use it for product demos, online training and lead generation, often with attendance-based email follow-up sequences. ## **Cookies and data collected** EasyWebinar sets cookies like ew\_session, ew\_visitor, and engagement tracking pixels. It collects name, email and optional phone at registration; IP, User-Agent, attendance duration, click events and chat content during the webinar; and replay activity afterwards. Recordings may be stored indefinitely unless retention is configured. ## **GDPR and ePrivacy** Registration page cookies and analytics require consent under Art. 5(3) ePrivacy. The registration data is processed on contract or legitimate interest. Recording the session requires a clear notice and, ideally, an opt-in for marketing reuse of the recording. Chat content is personal data and should be deletable on request. ## **Data transfer to the US** EasyWebinar processes all data on US infrastructure. Transfers are covered by the 2021 SCCs and, where applicable, by EU-US DPF certification. Run a Transfer Impact Assessment. Be cautious if your webinars cover health, religion or other special category topics. ## **Automated webinar transparency** EasyWebinar lets you run pre-recorded sessions presented as live. Under Art. 13 GDPR transparency and consumer protection law in several EU member states, you must clearly disclose that the session is automated, ideally on the registration page itself, to avoid misleading advertising claims. ## **Practical compliance checklist** 1\. Sign the EasyWebinar DPA. 2. Block tracking cookies behind CMP. 3. Disclose recording on the registration page. 4. Clearly mark automated webinars as such. 5. Configure retention periods for recordings and chat. 6. Run a DPIA covering attendance tracking and US transfer. 7. Map all integrations (CRM, marketing automation) and document downstream data flows. Compliance ## EasyWebinar and the GDPR EasyWebinar is classified as “Marketing”. On a site that targets European visitors, it must only load after the visitor consents, and it must be listed in your cookie policy. - Legal basis Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for marketing cookies and recording of attendees; Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) for providing the registered webinar; Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for fraud prevention - Risk level high - Applicable regulations GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, AI Act (for AI summarisation features), national digital event laws ### Impact assessment (DPIA) EasyWebinar processes attendee name, email, optional phone, IP, attendance duration, engagement clicks, chat content and (when enabled) full webinar recordings. Key DPIA considerations: (1) recordings can contain participants' images and voices, potentially special category data if health or politics are discussed; (2) US transfer requires SCCs and a Transfer Impact Assessment; (3) attendance-based follow-up emails rely on consent at registration; (4) the platform integrates with marketing automation tools (HubSpot, Mailchimp) which may further propagate the data; (5) automated webinars that simulate live content may raise transparency questions under Art. 13 GDPR and consumer protection law. A full DPIA is recommended for any production deployment. ### Sample text for your banner > By registering for this webinar, you agree that \ processes your name, email, and engagement data via EasyWebinar (United States) to deliver the webinar and follow-up communications.
