Justification
The AM removes overlapping ePrivacy rules on security, terminal access, metadata, location data and direct marketing where personal-data processing is already governed by the GDPR. Keeping parallel regimes creates consent fatigue, divergent national transpositions and legal uncertainty, including stricter rules for some anonymous device data than for personal data. Consolidation under the GDPR’s risk-based framework simplifies compliance, strengthens coherent rights exercise, supports innovation and preserves sector-specific rules in dedicated instruments.
