Cookies and data protection – wave of complaints against illegal cookie banners
Together with the European data protection organization noyb, Max Schrems is taking action against illegal cookie banners. Up to 10,000 letters of complaint are sent to the operators of the most visited websites of companies in Europe and the USA.
The focus is on all those banners that make it almost impossible for site visitors to refuse the use of cookies. In the meantime, website operators have found creative solutions to enable “purpose-dependent” consent on the one hand and to entice the site visitor to click on “Accept all” after all.
