Definition of processing: The operation of loading personal data on an internet page constitutes processing. (¶37)

In this respect, it should be observed that, as regards in particular the Internet, the Court has already had occasion to state that the operation of loading personal data on an Internet page must be considered to be ‘processing’ within the meaning of Article 2(b) of Directive 95/46 (judgments in Lindqvist, C‑101/01, EU:C:2003:596, paragraph 25, and Google Spain and Google, C‑131/12, EU:C:2014:317, paragraph 26).
