The E-privacy directive: Superfluous, or a solution to stop the pendulum ...
summary
European Commission starts a 2016 review of the e‑Privacy Directive with a public consultation and two planned workshops in the first half of the year, aiming to reconcile three concrete issues: adjust wording to the GDPR (duplicate breach rules and inconsistent sanctions), a refit for efficiency (article‑by‑article fitness checks, cookie and tracking rules, first‑party analytics), and a push to broaden scope to OTTs while ensuring harmonise law enforcement process (stored vs real‑time data, metadata risks, IoT machine‑to‑machine, and differing national enforcement bodies).
