1 week agoThe EU's plan to tackle 'cookie fatigue'
A centralized consent system aims to reduce cookie fatigue by using a single machine-readable consent button and limiting re-asking to every six months.
"Consent fatigue on the web is now widely acknowledged. But it also reflects a positive shift in the European framework: consent is now firmly established. The question is no longer whether consent should exist, but how it can be integrated into the user experience in a way that is smooth, transparent and meaningful," explains Romain Bessuges-Meusy, CEO and co-founder of Axeptio.
As first reported by MLex, the EC's proposed legislative changes are manifold, and in Noyb's view these would poke so many holes in existing rules to "make [GDPR] overall unusable for most cases." The EC is planning to introduce the "Digital Omnibus" package on November 19, introducing amendments to legislation covering AI regulation, cybersecurity, data protection, and privacy.
