The EU wants to reform cookies

The European Commission wants to simplify the use of cookies on the website. It is considering removing the banners of cookies, which are usually considered annoying. Visitors often click on consent without knowing what they agree with.

Sales 2009, European websites and online stores must get an active conference from visitors to use cookies that make with banners of cookies. Only functional cookies are exempt from this rule. According to the European Commission, however, this system proved ineffective.

When visitors click on the banners of cookies without considering content, the resulting flood of consent occurs. This does not strengthen data or increase transparency. Rather, these cookies have caused frustrations for visitors and owners of websites.

Preference stored in one place

The European Commission is now working to change the rules of cookies. One of the suggestions is a centralized place where users can set their cookies preferences once, through their browser settings in this way, users do not have to repeatedly select cookies every time they visit the site.

Cookie statistics could be imported from the consent request

The EU Commission is also a proposal that statistical sets of cookies that do not process personal data could be exempt from the consent request. This reduces the amount of consent required.

A bigger problem than annoying banners

However, there was some criticism about the proposed reform. Although it can improve user experience, it will not solve the problem of online supervision. Data protection is concerned that private protection will not improve in this reform. This is that they apply for more comprehensive access to ensure data protection.
