This contains rules concerning the use of cookies, local storage, pixels, API calls, and other resources that can store or read data from the device of an end user. According to these rules, the end users should be informed about the function and purposes of these resources. In general, we can distinguish five purposes: Statistics, Statistics-anonymous, marketing/tracking, Functional and Preferences. The larger problem is that there is no consensus about those purposes. For example, one website may speak about the "functional purpose" for a particular cookie, whereas other websites call the purpose for that same cookie "Technical pur", " Essential", or " strictly necessary". "Statistics" or " analytics" are sometimes also called "Performance", and marketing/tracking is sometimes known as "ad-storage". Preferences Cookies are in some jurisdictions known as functionality. This is of course not transparent to the end-users. We should therefore find consensus in order to standardize the names of these purposes.

The proposal provides a uniform approach to detecting and reporting child sexual abuse imposing obligations on online service providers. But it has been criticized for including measures which put the vital integrity of secure communications at risk and opening the door for a range of authoritarian surveillance tactics. The proposal allows the scanning of private communication with the purpose of searching not only for verified illegal child sexual abuse material (CSAM), but also for new photos and videos, as well as evidence of text-based “grooming”. Is this proposal balanced and proportional or will this mark the end of end-to-end encryption? Despite several safeguards, should providers have a duty to scan our conversations? In the long debates of child protection and privacy so far it seems that children have always been the ones to be sacrificed and this proposal is trying to change the situation.

Can we fight these types of crime by changing technical standards?
