🇪🇺 What happened to the EU Commission's plans on getting rid of cookie banners? Well, according to the Council’s latest position paper, those have been scrapped. 🚮 This is likely to result in a great deal of hassle and frustration for European users, as well as billions of clicks per year. 🍪

@noybeu It is killing me how simple and obvious the solution is. Just define a Browser signal (like the "do not track") where you set your preference.

Chrome can keep tracking their users (as they'll set the signal to "agree all") while Firefox will set the signal to "reject all".

All the legal framework can stay the same, just replace the popup with a browser signal, that's it

@moonwalker @noybeu They don't follow it because it is not mandatory, the EU should impose a gpc-like signal to replace the cookie banners
