The New York Times Blogs
The Obama administration plans to ease rules that effectively ban the use of "cookies" to track people who use government Web sites, and the proposal is getting mixed reviews from privacy groups. With the public comment period on the proposed review closing on Monday, several groups rushed to weigh in. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Privacy Information Center came out in opposition to the changes. Calling it a "massive shift in online privacy policy", the ACLU said the government had failed to justify the policy change.
