Don't call data capture "Cookies"

The Issue

The word 'Cookies’ is a misleading term that tricks our kids into accepting privacy sets, without fully understanding the meaning of it. 

After all, which kid says no to a cookie? Is it really consent?

We are calling on the government to mandate that website owners need to be clearer about what they ask from kids, so they can make better choices about their privacy.

We want all children-oriented websites to stop calling data collection "cookies" and help them understand & protect their privacy online. 

Stop coercing children into giving away their data, and let's educate better the next digital generation.
