EU Cookie Law Faces Multi‑Front Weakening

The ePrivacy framework, designed to curb commercial tracking and limit state surveillance of communications, is under pressure from several fronts. Recent proposals and regulatory shifts threaten to dilute its protective measures, potentially expanding the scope of permissible data collection.

Stakeholders warn that weakening the cookie law could erode privacy safeguards, enabling broader surveillance capabilities and undermining the EU’s commitment to data protection. The debate highlights the tension between commercial interests and individual rights in the digital age.
