EU Cookie Law – our current advice

May 29, 2012

Have you updated your site to comply with the new “Cookie Law”? Does the law make any sense to you? Are you just as confused as 99% of people out there about it?
What is even more confusing is that the ICO changed their minds to allow implied consent at the last minute

 

 So do I need a warning and a policy, or something more?

The ICO with that last minute change has caused a load of confusion.

  • If someone has cookies enabled in their browser, does that imply consent?
  • Does the simple act of visiting your website imply consent?
The safest thing is to make sure you outline the cookies you use either within your privacy policy, or on a separate “Cookie Usage” page, and add a link to it somewhere on your homepage.

Even though the ICO have already said they’re unlikely to prosecute anyone, they’d have a much harder time doing so now as their 11th hour change has made everything so much more ambiguous than before.

If you need any help in implementing this on your site please contact us
