New White House Policy on Cookies On the Way
July 24, 2009
Look out today for a Federal Register request for comment and a post at the White House Open Government site about ways for revising the current prohibition on persistent cookies. The goal is to continue to protect the privacy of people who visit Federal Government websites while at the same time making these websites more user-friendly, providing better customer service, and allowing for enhanced web analytics. We have commented extensively on this issue at this site and in submissions to the Administration, and CDT and EFF have produced a useful report here as well.
