Comments on: EU privacy verdict on Google set for new year

Will this legislation be effective?

Will the wharehousing limits apply to just search (aka google.com) or to the entire google network?

Adscense, google maps, utube, doubleclick to be, google-office, gmail, ...

Does google really have to delete the data, or just "anonymize" it by setting cookies to self destruct in a year? Google will obviously issue new cookies so this approach is totally ineffective for anonimizing purposes.

I hope this legislation goes a bit more technical than just placing a duration clause in.

Don’t Miss
