Website Cookies
New European privacy laws have come into force in the UK which require websites to obtain consent when placing cookies' on visitors computers, mobiles or other devices. This is intended to give internet users more control over the data that websites gather.
The Regulations requires organisations running websites in the UK to get consent from visitors to their websites in order to store cookies on users' computers.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) (the organisation in the UK responsible for regulating the new law) recognises there are no easy technical solutions to this problem and gave companies until May 2012 to comply.
