📖🍪 dict.cc-Beschwerde: "Nutzer:innen des Onlinewörterbuchs würden dazu gedrängt, dem #Tracking durch 1.741 Partnerunternehmen mit einem einzigen Klick zuzustimmen. Laut [noyb] ist unter diesen Umständen keine informierte Einwilligung möglich." https://help.orf.at/stories/3236728

🚨 Complaint filed: the online dictionary dict.cc tries to nudge users into consenting to online tracking by 1,741 (!) “partners” with a single click. 👉 This makes it impossible for users to know exactly who has access to their data and how it is actually used. However, the GDPR requires that consent is freely given, informed, specific and unambiguous. https://noyb.eu/en/1741-informed-consents-one-click-gdpr-complaint-against-dictcc-filed

🍪🚫 It's time to kill the cookie banner – and end the endless tracking circus! ⏮️ You may think that EU privacy law requires cookie banners. But the law is clear: online tracking is prohibited by default. 👋⚖️ Therefore, the tracking industry needs you to waive your rights. That’s why they invented cookie banners, which often are deliberately misleading as well as annoying.

🍪 There's one thing we can all agree on: we're fed up with misleading cookie banners. 🚫 And we finally have a chance to get rid of them! 💡 The solution? Simple! Express your privacy preferences once, for example via your browser or device, and have them respected permanently. 📃 A proposal to end this tracking circus is currently on the table of EU lawmakers – and could easily simplify things for everyone in the European Union. ➡️ https://killthecookiebanner.eu/

🇦🇹👤 #CRIF is one of the largest credit reference agencies in #Austria. It has built up a largely unknown ‘shadow registry’ and use this data to assign credit scores. However, for 90% of those affected, the score is based primarily only on address, gender and age. ❌ We are convinced that this unwarranted data collection and the scoring of those 90% violates the #GDPR. We are therefore bringing an injunction and a class action for damages. To sign up, go to https://crif.noyb.eu! 🤝

🇺🇸 &quot;In the #US, the independence of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been declared unconstitutional. What appears to be a purely domestic debate about the extent of #Trump’s powers is turning out to be a threat to the #European digital economy. […] As there are now no longer any independent authorities in the US, noyb argues that it is time to initiate a coordinated withdrawal of the European economy from US cloud infrastructure.&quot; (from German) Read more 🔗 https://www.hei...

🇪🇺 The #European Commission says it is now 'analysing' the #EU-#US data transfer decision, given the end of the #FTC's independence. They seem to be struggling to answer journalists' questions. We hope the #Commission will take the appropriate steps to repeal the EU-US data deal in an orderly way.
