Offenbar ist die Bundesregierung Opfer des Lobbying der #Ad-Tracking Industrie geworden: Es geht um #Cookie-Banner

„Die Bundesregierung betreibt in Brüssel offenbar gezielte Interessenvertretung zugunsten der Adtech- und Verlagsindustrie und auf Kosten der Verbraucher:innen“, schreibt auf Anfrage etwa Florian Glatzner vom Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband. „Ausgerechnet die Regelung, die Nutzer:innen endlich eine einfachere Kontrolle über Tracking und Profilbildung ermöglichen würde, soll gestrichen werden.“

Deutschland und Google wollen Cookie-Banner retten

Mit dem „Digitalen Omnibus“ will die EU nach der KI-Verordnung auch den Datenschutz schleifen. Das Gesetzespaket enthält einen einzigen Vorschlag, der nicht primär Unternehmen, sondern auch Nutzer:innen das Leben erleichtern soll. Er könnte das europäische Internet von Cookie-Bannern befreien, doch nach intensiver Lobby-Arbeit will der Rat den Artikel nun streichen.

“For years, users and many companies have been complaining about cookie banners. Even though this understandable frustration is mostly caused by misleading dark patterns used by the industry, these banners have become the symbol of what is perceived as excessive EU regulation. As part of the ‘Digital Omnibus’, the European Commission now finally wanted to get rid of cookie banners and replace them with an automated signal. However, Google and some of the very EU Member States that are actually calling on the EU to “simplify” and “cut red tape” – including Germany and France, for example – are now standing in the way. In the Council’s latest position paper of 18 June, the plan to abolish the cookie banner has been scrapped. This baffling outcome is likely to continue to cost European users a great deal of hassle, frustration and billions of clicks per year.”
