Origin - 2014 - Second part-session

In the draft resolution, at the end of paragraph 6.2, add the following sentence:

"Internet access providers may only supply user-IDs with the authenticated authorisation of the persons concerned;"

Explanatory note

This clarification is very important as "cookies" help service providers to identify users in an increasingly precise manner. This amendment raises a question of principle: "if a user uses an Internet site, why should another site be informed of this without the user's permission?".
