Undoubtedly, consent is <strong>the formal requirement by means of which contracts are formalized or, at an individual level, we accept or not certain actions<\/strong> concerning our person. <\/p>\n<p>As it could not be otherwise, at the personal level, and more specifically on data that could be processed by someone other than us (or an organization), <strong>in the vast majority of cases it is required that as a data subject we have consented to the processing of the data.<\/strong> This is very clearly stated, in the case of the European Union, in the General Data Protection Regulation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;120px&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742293100803{margin-top: -100px !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;dos&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742291967677{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #47d7ac !important;}&#8221; dp_animation=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Types of consent: tacit and express<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; dp_animation=&#8221;&#8221;]In recent times, the concept of &#8220;consent&#8221; has undergone an evolution due to changes in Spanish legislation, mainly influenced by European regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Something very relevant in the regulations is the definition of <strong>the two types of consent: tacit and express.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;120px&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742293107427{margin-top: -100px !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;dos-a&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742292009965{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}&#8221; dp_animation=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0px;\"><strong>Tacit consent<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; dp_animation=&#8221;&#8221;]It is that <strong>which is not expressly reflected in written or physical form, but by a series of indirect actions or omissions.<\/strong> That is, it does not arise from explicit manifestations.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the existence of explicit manifestations should not be understood as tacit consent.<\/p>\n<p>In the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Justice, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conceptosjuridicos.com\/tribunal-supremo\/\">Supreme Court<\/a><\/strong> in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conceptosjuridicos.com\/sentencia\/\">judgment<\/a><\/strong> of 257\/1986, of April 28, 1986, establishes that <strong>for tacit consent to exist, there must be circumstances that unequivocally reveal that the person consents.<\/strong> It also emphasizes, as an important requirement, that <strong>silence is not always considered as tacit consent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another Supreme Court decision, No. 483\/2004 of June 9, 2004, establishes <strong>two requirements for silence to be considered tacit consent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The first of these is the  <strong>knowledge and understanding of the facts. This means that the person who remains silent understands the facts that require his or her consent. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The second requirement is the requirement to express disagreement.<\/strong> In this case, the situation must allow the <strong>person<\/strong> to <strong>express in some way his or her disagreement if he or she does not want to consent or approve the facts or proposals.<\/strong> The Court understands that remaining silent is a form of tacit consent when there is a relationship between parties that has a history based on good faith.<\/p>\n<p class=\"h3\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Examples of situations where tacit consent is accepted or required<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>On a day-to-day basis,<strong> people are frequently confronted with requests for tacit consent,<\/strong> such as, for example, when we receive a notification from our bank indicating that our new conditions will come into force on a certain date and that &#8220;if we do not expressly state otherwise&#8221;, or &#8220;if we do not receive a response within X days&#8221;, we will be deemed to have accepted these conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tacit consent is also common in homeowners&#8217; associations.<\/strong>  An example is when a neighbor of a community of owners installs an awning, an air conditioning machine or any other element that alters the facade of the building without requesting permission. If no other neighbor objects, it is understood that there is tacit consent on the part of the community. <\/p>\n<p>It also constitutes a tacit consent in the use of information when <strong>the person hands over his or her business card, company card or any other type of card, containing personal data.<\/strong> This consent includes a willingness to communicate with the other party.<\/p>\n<p>At present, <strong>tacit consent is not valid in terms of data protection,<\/strong> although it was valid under the regulations prior to Law 3\/2018, the repealed LOPD of 1999. Until that time, for example, cookies were understood to be accepted when browsing the web, since there was no explicit manifestation contrary to their acceptance. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32673 pd-t-10\" src=\"https:\/\/mailcommsgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/consentimiento-tacito.webp\" alt=\"Tacit consent\" width=\"892\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailcommsgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/consentimiento-tacito.webp 892w, https:\/\/mailcommsgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/consentimiento-tacito-300x141.webp 300w, https:\/\/mailcommsgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/consentimiento-tacito-768x360.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;120px&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742293113347{margin-top: -100px !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;dos-b&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742292481677{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}&#8221; dp_animation=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0px;\"><strong>Express consent<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; dp_animation=&#8221;&#8221;]In fact, <strong>the only valid consent in data protection is the express consent,<\/strong> the one described in articles 4.11 RGPD and 6.1 Law 3\/2018, where it is defined as follows:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous expression of will by which the data subject consents,<\/strong> either by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, <strong>to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, <strong>the GDPR requires consent to be &#8220;unambiguous&#8221; and excludes the use of so-called tacit consent.<\/strong> The use of pre-checked boxes or inaction are not considered valid ways of obtaining consent.

Although it also points out that signed statements are not the only way to obtain consent. For example, in the digital context, a data subject can give explicit consent by means of an electronic form, by sending an email, by uploading a scanned document with his or her signature, or through the use of an electronic signature.  <\/p>\n<p>For all these reasons, <strong>companies must have improved and mature consent management processes and rely on <a href=\"https:\/\/mailcommsgroup.com\/en\/regulatory-compliance-solutions\/rgpd-consent-management\/\">solutions<\/a>, such as MailComms Group&#8217;s, to help them manage the entire process, ensuring compliance and avoiding penalties.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At this point <strong>it is very helpful for compliance to have a <\/strong> qualified and trusted e-service <strong>provider <\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/mailcommsgroup.com\/en\/blog\/we-are-a-trusted-service-provider-qualified-in-electronic-delivery-certified-do-you-want-to-know-what-means\/\"><strong>qualified and trustworthy electronic service provider,<\/strong><\/a> as is the case with Mailcomms Group, which is also certified in the main information security and privacy standards, such as ISO\/IEC 27001 and ISO\/IEC 27701: ISO\/IEC 27001 and ISO\/IEC 27701, to which is added its accreditation in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mailcommsgroup.com\/en\/blog\/new-level-ens\/\">high level category in the National Security Scheme.<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below you can read the third article of our RGPD series.
