Future Changes: EU Cookie Regulations

In November 2025, the European Commission proposed changes to EU cookie regulations (Digital Omnibus) aimed at reducing "cookie banner fatigue." If adopted in 2026-2027, these changes may:

• Allow some cookies under "legitimate interest" without explicit consent
• Require browsers to offer standardized privacy preference signals
• Mandate that "Reject All" buttons be as prominent as "Accept All" buttons
• Shift some consent management from website-level to browser-level

Current Status: These are proposed changes under discussion. Our current Cookie Policy reflects the existing rules that remain in effect. We will update this policy if and when the proposals become law.
