The average consent rate in Spain went from 89.8% in December 2023 to 84.8% in January 2024, a 5% drop following new updates from the country's data protection authority, the AEPD. But the data tells a bigger story 📈 The AEPD's new guidelines introduced stronger requirements for consent collection, including the obligation to include a "Reject" button in the first layer of the consent banner. While the AEPD's new guidelines may have initially impacted organizations' consent rates, they have also led to a positive outcome. Our dataset shows a significant decrease in the percentage of banners with no option to refuse consent, from 39% to only 10% between December 2023 and March 2024, indicating an increase in the adoption of privacy best practices.

🍪 noyb.eu has shared an overview of the guidelines issued by national data protection authorities and of decisions taken throughout Europe. In comparison to the eight-page report published by the Cookie Banner Taskforce of the European Data Protection Board, this document is considerably more comprehensive. However, in terms of specific content, it does not provide many significant additional insights. 📚 Based on my research into this matter, I have some personal thoughts: 🤷♂️ Individuals rarely file complaints about cookies or other tracking technologies. Most cookie related decisions are initiated by noyb (or a similar organisation) or by data protection authorities in the context of a different investigation. There could be many reasons for this, but base on my experience, most people outside the data protection bubble simple don't care about cookies and find the banners to be an inconvenience. 😴 The concept of consent fatigue is referenced in the introduction of noyb's report in the context of deceptive design patterns. In my view, the most effective approach to addressing consent fatigue is to create more consent exemptions for cookies with minimal or no impact on individuals' privacy, such as those used for analytics and user experience purposes. This could result in fewer banners, so the remaining banners stand out as important. 👩⚖️ The report lacks detail on the original decisions and potential pending appeal procedures. Without this context, some of the quotes may be misleading and could be based on inaccurate translations or interpretations. 💬 What's your opinion on the report or cookies in general? I’m happy to discuss! #cookies #ePrivacy #dataprotection #privacyland

🍪 Spanish Data Protection Agency Updates Cookie Guidelines to Align with European Standards 🍪 As of July 11, 2023, the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has updated its Guide on the Use of Cookies to comply with the most recent proposals from the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). The update comes with the February 2023 publication of EDPB's Guidelines 03/2022 on misleading patterns in social networks. The regulation has been developed by AEPD with the help of industry players including ADIGITAL, Advertisers, AUTOCONTROL, and IAB Spain. Notably, the updated standards stress that cookie consent alternatives must be equally obvious and available, removing any difficulty or discrimination between accepting and rejecting cookies. The update also defines consent requirements for user data-based specific cookies and provides insight into the idea of "cookie walls," stressing the value of accessible alternatives in cases when consent is refused. By being implemented by January 11, 2024, the new guidelines show a concentrated commitment toward improved user data protection and transparency in online activity. #aepd #edpb #cookies #dataprotection https://lnkd.in/daXqv9nY Photo by RUMEYSA AYDIN on Unsplash

Is Chile beating Canada and winning 2024 Data Protection World Cup! Chile's Data Protection Bill, 2017, vs. Canada's PIPEDA Reform 2022 [W]ith federal elections looming, some stakeholders in the legislative process are expressing doubt the omnibus C-27 proposal will pass before the election..." The whole C-27 proposal containing the proposed Consumer Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act, and Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, is currently undergoing clause-by-clause review in-committee. If C-27 passes the full House of Commons this session, the bill then goes to the Senate for deliberation. Karbaliotis said once the Senate completes its three readings of the legislation, C-27 would go to Royal Assent. Once Royal Assent is completed, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry François-Philippe Champagne would set the effective date for the bill, which he previously indicated would be 18-24 months following final passage, according to Karbaliotis.

Helping companies to trust their data & better serve their customers through Tag Governance, Privacy & CMP Management and Attribution Governance
I came across an article that shed light on a crucial initiative by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the UK a few weeks ago and wanted to repost something as time is getting closer, and with the Christmas period about to start, I can imagine this has been missed. The ICO has warned some of the country's top websites sternly, cautioning them about potential enforcement actions if they fail to align with data protection laws. The concern primarily revolves around transparency and fairness in offering users choices regarding personalized advertising tracking. The ICO emphasizes the importance of providing users with equal ease in rejecting advertising cookies as accepting them. The objective is to empower users to make informed decisions about their data and privacy. Stephen Almond, ICO Executive Director of Regulatory Risk, highlights the need for companies to ensure that users are not subjected to targeted ads without their explicit consent. The consequences of unchecked data use can be far-reaching, affecting individuals in sensitive areas of their lives, from health issues to personal exploration. As professionals in the digital landscape, we must be cognizant of these issues and advocate for responsible data practices. The ICO's initiative is a clear call to action for companies to adapt to these guidelines promptly or face the consequences. It's heartening to see that many major websites are already compliant, but there's work to be done for those who still need to. #DataProtection #PrivacyMatters #ICO #DigitalEthics #OnlineAdvertising

In the digital age, our online experiences are constantly intertwined with a silent but significant aspect – cookies. No, we're not talking about the kind you bake, but the small data files that websites store on your device to enhance your browsing experience. While cookies can be helpful, they've also stirred up quite a storm, particularly when it comes to user consent. Picture this: you land on a website, and before you even know what hit you, a cookie banner pops up with a single, glaring "Accept" button. There's no option to decline, no polite request for your permission – just a digital fait accompli. In some cases, even this minimal courtesy is lacking, as certain websites simply inundate you with cookie information without asking for your input at all. So what then should website owners know about cookie consent? The slide below provides insight to this by drawing from the decision of the French Data Protection Authority and the provisions of the Nigerian Data Protection Act, 2023. #consent #digital #tech #lawyer #cookies #NDPA #nigerianlawyer #dataprotection #dataprivacy

Update from the Spanish Data Protection Agency: Guide on Cookie Use Adapted to New European Data Protection Committee Guidelines! 🍪🚀 The Spanish Data Protection Agency has recently updated its Guide on the use of cookies to align with the latest directives from the European Data Protection Committee. The new version of the guide rely that cookie acceptance or rejection actions must be presented in a prominent and equal manner. This means that rejecting cookies should be just as simple as accepting them, without any unnecessary complexity. The deadline to implement the various modifications outlined in the Guide is set for January 11, 2024, providing a six-month period to make the necessary changes. In light of these updates, solutions like Google Consent Mode gain even more significance. Google Consent Mode now receives user consent preferences directly from the cookie banner or widget, dynamically adapting the behavior of Analytics tags, Google Ads, and third-party tags that create or read cookies. 💡 Benefits: 1. Filling the gaps of non-consenting users, thanks to modeled conversions. 2. Data flexibility, in personalization and use on different platforms. 3. Optimization of advertising campaigns, by recovering lost conversions. Make sure your organization is well-prepared to implement these changes as soon as posible 💥 Making Science #DataPrivacy #Cookies #GDPRCompliance #DigitalMarketing #GoogleConsentMode #SpanishDataProtectionAgency #EuropeanDataProtectionCommittee
