EU Council drops cookie signal after Google lobbying - EUR 40-50 bn at stake

> The EU Council's latest position paper, published on 18 June 2026, has removed from the Digital Omnibus the one provision that would have replaced cookie consent banners with an automated browser signal - after intense industry lobbying in which Google played a central role. The European Parliament, which has not yet taken a position on the measure, now holds the only vote that could restore it.
