This shall not prevent any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or asstrictly necessary in order for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide the service.”

Problem: no real guidance
The document does not provide any real support to the national governments on how to implement the law
- misses out on business arguments: it does not frame the debate from a business point, i.e. the potential damage of a wrongful implementation to Europe’s digital uptake;
- misses the role of browser
...lot’s of hard work ahead...
Key Points and Arguments:
Cookies have a bad reputation and it will be important to emphasise the positive aspects of cookies. Cookies are the most user-friendly way of storing information:
- cookies are harmless, they cannot be used for malicious actions (e.g. install malware or viruses);
- they are stored locally on a user PC, not centrally at a company level;
- therefore cookies can be easily deleted by the user;
- they can be easily managed by the user to a high degree through the browser settings (and other settings manager tools for LSOs / „flash cookies‟);
