Summary/Abstract: The coronavirus pandemic has caused significant changes to societies around the world. One such change deals with the privacy of user-generated data on the Internet. So far, this topic has been a margin of the debate on the problems related to the wider use of the Internet at work or in everyday life. There were phenomena aimed at introducing rules governing how to collect data about Internet users, but the effectiveness of these solutions is debatable. The necessity to transfer most of the daily activities to the Internet increased the interest in the problem of protecting privacy on the Internet, and commercial entities, so far reluctant to discuss this subject, began to introduce user-friendly solutions.
