noyb and the Sustainable Computing Lab released a technical proposal for an "Advanced Data Protection Control" (ADPC) browser signal. The signal would allow browsers to automatically convey user consent or opt‑in preferences to websites, potentially eliminating cookie banners. The proposal references Article 21(5) of the GDPR and the ePrivacy Regulation as the legal basis for such a signal.
Why it matters: If adopted, ADPC could streamline consent management and make cookie banners obsolete across Europe.
