UK data rules to ease burden on business, cut cookie warnings

LONDON : Britain will set out a new data protection regime on Friday that diverges from EU regulations, which it says will ease the burden of compliance on businesses and reduce the number of annoying cookie pop-ups that plague consumers online.

Britain's data regulations since Brexit have mirrored the EU's General Data Protection Regulation , the comprehensive legislation adopted in the bloc in 2016. The European Commission said in August"it would closely monitor any developments to the UK's rules", adding that adequacy could be suspended, terminated or amended if changes resulted in an unacceptable level of protection.

For example, the bill will remove the need for small businesses to have a Data Protection Officer and to undertake lengthy impact assessments, it said, with a privacy management programme used to the same end.Britain said the EC had itself made clear that adequacy decisions did not require countries to have the same rules.
