European Commission launches proposal to simplify cookie management
The European Commission has proposed amendments to the current cookie regulations, which will simplify cookie management for users, including new options and automatic settings on websites
The European Commission’s recent proposal regarding cookie management focuses on certain automatic settings, such as storing personalized consent in browser settings.
Within the framework of regulations to protect user privacy, the European Union has a set of tools, such as the Cookie Law, which obliges websites to obtain the user’s explicit consent for the use of these files. This law is, in turn, framed within the 2009 ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which entered into force in 2018.
In a statement sent to the European Commission, composed of members of industry and civil society, proposals regarding cookies include the idea that users should only have to configure their preferences once.
In other words, that more exceptions be applied, “so that consent banners only appear on certain websites and in specific situations, where user information may be used for purposes other than the website’s functionality.”
