The Federation of German Consumer Organizations (VZBV) is calling for a ban on tracking and profiling for advertising purposes. These practices pose serious risks for consumers and society. „Consumers are powerless against the practices of the advertising industry,“ said Michaela Schröder, Head of Consumer Policy at the VZBV. The existing laws are not enough. „A ban on tracking and profiling is the only way to protect consumers in the long term.“
