noyb publishes a proposal for an automatic browser signal to eliminate obsolete cookie banners. "ADPC" demonstrates a user-friendly European solution for privacy choices.

The Irish High Court has delivered its judgment on Facebook's Judicial Review against a second investigation into EU-US data transfers by the DPC.

Google continues to send data from EU websites to the US - despite two Court of Justice rulings.

noyb launched further action against Google’s AAID. The somewhat hidden ID allows Google and all apps on the phone to track a user and combine information about online and mobile behaviour.

The Irish DPC has tried to intervene on the European Parliament's LIBE Committee Resolution. Which sparked a rather explicit reaction by the German DPA and ended with a cancellation by the DPC.

noyb filed a GDPR complaint against the credit ranking agency CRIF GmbH and the address publisher AZ Direct for illegally exchanging data.
