The End of Cookie Banners? The EU Is Planning a Major Overhaul

[Dopious]

The European Commission is preparing a major reform of the 2009 e-Privacy directive, the legislation that led to the widespread use of cookie consent banners.

Acknowledging that the current system has created "pop-up chaos" and "consent fatigue," Brussels is looking for ways to create a more user-friendly internet experience.

Thing is this was a big fuss back in the day. Then they said a few days before it was go to live having a pop-up was no longer required as long as you documented it in the privacy police of what cookies you use, to do what and give a guide to remove.

But everyone went nuts some 12 months later...

There was never a need for it and it's all been totally stupid from day 1.

The EU has been kinda going nuts with laws lately. It's like on one hand at least someone is trying to make internet specific laws but on the other hand it's like they're the same old people making outdated laws without thinking about how it affects everyone.
