(25)Online marketplaces should be defined for the purposes of Directives 2005/29/EC and 2011/83/EU in a similar manner as in Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council 11 and Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council 12 . However, the definition of ‘online marketplace’ should be updated and rendered more technologically neutral in order to cover new technologies. It is therefore appropriate to refer, instead of to a ‘website’, to software, including a website, part of a website or an application, operated by or on behalf of the trader, in accordance with the notion of an ‘online interface’ as provided by Regulation (EU) 2017/2394 and Regulation (EU) 2018/302 of the European Parliament and of the Council 13 .
