hmmm, only just picked up on this.
"From 25 May, European laws dictate that "explicit consent" must be gathered from web users who are being tracked via text files called "cookies".
These files are widely used to help users navigate faster around sites they visit regularly.
Businesses are being urged to sort out how they get consent so they can keep on using cookies."

“If you spot anything, maybe post back here. Can't see this being any more enforceable than having contact info websites and emails. ”I will post anything I see or hear on ways to deal with it. And agree 100% with the enforement!
According to a statement today from the ICO spokesman, the office will publish guidance on enforcement action "in the coming weeks". I too will be interested in the implementation and enforce of this mandate which could have huge implications in behavioral targeting/online advertising industry.
I imagine there is plenty of time for the small peeps to get in line with this. Bill Ryan |
