Why do the websites bother to show cookie warnings if europa.eu does not?
It may be a bit of a rhetorical question, but the regulatory body does set an example, so how come the others do not follow?
- kevinsimper 8y agoIt is a easy feature for companies to implemented that feels like they made something new and important :-)
- jackewiehose 8y agomaybe they are the only ones who understand their laws
- cimmanom 8y agoIs europa.eu setting any cookies?
- xy12 8y agoBecause the regulatory body can't get fined
- BjoernKW 8y agoCookie warnings aren't a part of GDPR regulations but rather the ePrivacy regulation, which will come into force in 2019. So, as of today you don't have to show these. However, europa.eu and ec.europa.eu overall are among the least GDPR-compliant sites I've come across. Interestingly though, GDPR doesn't apply to regulatory bodies or authorities in general, for that matter. All you could - quite reasonably so - indeed ask of them is to lead by example, which they apparently have chosen not to do.
