The European Commission plans to amend privacy rules to end the annoyance of "cookie consent" pop-up windows.

According to POLITICO's report today, in order to simplify regulation, the European Commission plans to abolish the long-criticized "ePrivacy Directive". Since 2009, this regulation has required users to constantly see pop-ups requesting consent for cookies online. This move has received support from many European citizens. The European Commission plans to introduce a "comprehensive" proposal in December to reduce the burden on digital businesses. On Monday local time, the Commission met with tech companies to discuss new proposals for cookies and consent banners.
