All its users Internet στην Ευρώπη έχουν μάθει πια να ζουν με τις προειδοποιήσεις των ιστοσελίδων για την χρήση Cookies. Συνήθως εμφανίζεται ένα αναδυόμενο παράθυρο που σας προειδοποιεί ότι ναι, ο website uses cookies ... just like almost every other page on the web.
If your warning seems unnecessary and ineffective, you are not the only one who thinks so. However, some believe it is necessary and they are all in the European Union….
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 φέρεται ότι θα καταστήσει τα προειδοποιητικά banners ξεπερασμένα και περιττά, υποχρεώνοντας τις ιστοσελίδες να “διαβάζουν” και να “σέβονται” τις ρυθμίσεις του κάθε προγράμματος περιήγησης που απαγορεύει την παρακολούθηση με cookie.
The new law will also force websites to require explicit consent before they startcookie cookies, which means that the current warning banners will not be necessary except and if the website 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.
Sites could also face a significant loss in advertising revenue, which is surely not going to fall, stakeholder representatives of the groups involved.
All this will be brought before the European Commission as it has already begun to consider the proposal. If the law update is approved, it will take effect in May 2018, and will bring with it many other changes to the privacy laws.
