Hello again,
Really looking forward to the article on institutional practices for addressing the cookie legislation - anyone know when this will be available?
In the meantime, I thought I'd share a user experience discussion document I knocked up a few weeks back to help inform our planning and illustrate to the Edinburgh web publishing community where we could be heading.

Is anyone thinking of a similar approach?
Be great to hear how a few of you are choosing to tackle this.
Cheers

This is a timely question from Allison and a useful link from Richard.
Note that an article on institutional practices for addressing the cookie legislation has been submitted to JISC and should be published shortly in JISC Inform - and thanks to Claire Gibbons (Bradford
University) and John Kelly (JISC Legal) for their feedback on the article.
Note that I'm in the process of finalising the programme for the IWMW
2012 event which will be held at the University of Edinburgh on 180-20 June. We intend to run a session of the cookie legislation which will be informed by the article and work which Claire has been involved in with a small group of fellow web managers which include:
o Auditing web site(s) for use of cookies
o Developing public-facing policies and guidance
o Getting institutional agreement for the policies
Allison, I hope you can get to Edinburgh :-)
