Related: In 2025, the Brussels Court of Appeal invalidated cookie consent banners built on the Transparency & Consent Framework of IAB Europe.

As it stands, plans to remove the cookie banner have been taken out of the Digital Omnibus proposal. If you’re annoyed by the cookie banner, tell the EU to #KillTheCookieBanner here.
