Quote:
The UK's new Information Commissioner will be charged with a post-Brexit "shake up" of data rules, including getting rid of cookie pop-ups.
John Edwards has been named the next head of data regulator the ICO.
The government said Mr Edwards, currently the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner, would "go beyond the regulator's traditional role".
The job would now be "balanced" between protecting rights and promoting "innovation and economic growth".
