See also the EU's proposed ePrivacy Regulation[1], which includes some similar suggestions:<p>"Simpler rules on cookies: the cookie provision, which has resulted in an overload of consent requests for internet users, will be streamlined. The new rule will be more user-friendly as browser settings will provide an easy way to accept or refuse tracking cookies and other identifiers.
