Nearly all EU rulings up until the UK left in 2019 are a part of British law. If the ruling was before the Brexit referendum then it would definitely count. Specifically with GDPR, the government confirmed that they adopted the EU's law.

Furthermore, this isn't a court ruling, it was a written reply from the European Commission, ie the people that wrote the law.

I guess I sit corrected and pleasantly surprised then 🙂

It's nothing to do with GDPR acording to the link of the post (people should read more than headlines..)

You're right, it's the ePrivacy Directive, which predates GDPR by many years (2002).
