On 26 March 2014 a bill was sent to the lower house of Parliament under which the rules on cookies laid down in the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet) will be relaxed. For cookies that 'provide insight into the quality or effectiveness of service delivered via the internet and have little or no impact on the internet user's privacy', it will no longer be required to inform the user and request his consent pursuant to the Telecommunications Act. Examples of such cookies are analytic cookies, a/b testing cookies and affiliate cookies, provided - among other things - that no user profile is drawn up.
