All internet users in Europe have learned to live by the warnings of cookies. A pop-up window usually appears warning you that yes, the site uses cookies… just like almost any other web page.
If your warning seems redundant and ineffective, you're not alone. However, some believe that it is necessary and all of them are in the European Join….
Webmasters and Internet users in the EU should probably have to deal with cookie warnings for over a decade.
We have seen them for so long, no one is happy, but no one is doing anything to change the regime.
But it seems there is hope for a less annoying European web. A recently proposed update of the original law it will allegedly make warning banners obsolete and redundant, forcing websites to "read" and "respect" each program's settings browsing which prohibits cookies tracking.
The new law will also force websites to require explicit consent before they startcookie cookies, which means that current alert banners will not be necessary unless the site wants to do some specific tracking.
However, this proposal is not easy, as technical changes would make it more difficult for sites to offer facilities such as connection sessions or a shopping cart.
The sites could also face a significant loss in ad revenue, which lobbyists are sure not to let slip.blueof small groups.
All this will be brought before the European Commission as it has already begun to consider the proposal. If the information of the law, will enter into force in May 2018, and will bring with it many other changes to the privacy laws.
