ECJ
Abbreviation for European Court of Justice
In short and in plain language
The ECJ is the highest court of the European Union.
It decides how the law of the Union is to be read, and this is binding.
One example is its rulings on consent to cookies. Such rulings shape how websites in all member states should be designed.
