Annual Report 2021 out now!

Annual Report 2021 2021 marks noyb’s fourth year of fighting for the right to privacy. We have taken things up a notch by filing a record-breaking amount of complaints: noyb filed over 400 half-automated GDPR complaints on deceptive cookie banners. Hundreds of major websites have switched to a more reasonable cookie banner in the course of this project. Towards the end of the year, we started to see decisions resulting from our 101 complaints on EU-US data transfers based on the Court of Justice decision in “Schrems II”. In a groundbreaking decision, the Austrian and French Data Protection Authority decided that the continuous use of Google Analytics violates the GDPR. Furthermore, we worked on many other projects, such as worker’s rights, or collective redress, or a new automatic browser signal that serves as a consent management system. 2021 was not only the fourth year of our organization but also the second year of a global pandemic. We are even more thankful to all our supporters,
