EU draft seeks GDPR changes for AI training and cookies

🛡️A leaked draft of the EU Commission’s proposed “Digital Omnibus” would amend the GDPR to absorb cookie rules and relax limits on AI training with personal data. The draft, due to be presented on 19 November 2025, would add Article 88a to move cookie regulation into the GDPR and allow processing on a closed list of low‑risk purposes or other legal bases including legitimate interest. Critics warn this shifts tracking from opt‑in to opt‑out and risks diluting privacy protections, while the proposal also narrows sensitive‑data protections and requires browsers to transmit consent preferences.
