Cookiemeldingen on the internet should be more similar. Therefore, minister Henk Kamp of Economic Affairs with, among others, industry associations and burgerrechtenorganisatie Bit of Freedom to the table, he said Thursday in the Second Room.
According to VVD Mp Bart de Love lead cookiemeldingen on the internet at this moment to confusion, because they are little similar to each other and all the different options offer. Minister Kamp said Thursday for it to go, and promised that he to the table would be seated with, among others, marktwaakhond ACM, privacy watch dog CBP, burgerrechtenorganisatie Bit of Freedom and industry associations. That should lead to more standardization, for example, with the help of icons.
The Second Room met Thursday about the cookie legislation, which the government wants to adjust. The government wants that cookie with little or no adverse impact on the privacy, no permission need be asked. At this time have websites for almost all types of cookies, ask permission, except for essential cookies, for example, login information and remember.
Will need websites, if the plans of the cabinet to be approved, also, for example, analytical cookies and cookies for a/b testing no permission to ask. For cookies that browsing behavior is tracked to ads to be able to show, in all cases, permission will be requested. Tuesday agree the Second Chamber about the amendment.
D66 Mp Kees Verhoeven served during the debate an amendment that lead to the cookie law to be stricter is at a different point. At this time, need websites, no explicit consent for the placing of cookies. If a user continues to use a site, that site assume that he cookies. Verhoeven wanted that users explicitly consent to give when it comes to invasive cookies, but he received little acclaim. “I realize that I am probably not going to save with my express permission”, he himself also during the debate.
Minister Kamp emphasized during the debate that the websites of public institutions also have access to as a user to refuse cookies. This includes, for example, the website of the Tax authorities or healthcare institutions. “But I suspect that the cookiepop-ups on those websites after the new amendment no longer necessary,” said Camp.
Other websites visitors can refuse, according to Camp, though he added that marktwaakhond ACM else can decide. Decided last year several websites, including Tweakers, users who refuse cookies to fend off, but now that decision is often reversed.
