Hi all

Has anyone done anything in particular in response to the changes to the rules on using cookies and similar technologies for storing information from the ICO?

http://www.ico.gov.uk/~/media/documents/library/Privacy_and_electronic/Practical_application/advice_on_the_new_cookies_regulations.pdf

We were going to update and add to our privacy policy in terms of what cookies we use and why, and that’s about it for now.

Useful article: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/enterprise/367198/ico-browser-settings-not-enough-for-cookies-law

“The ICO said it will issue "separate guidance" on how it plans to enforce the new regulations, but stressed it would only investigate websites after receiving a complaint, and then will merely require sites to show they have a "realistic plan to achieve compliance".”

Cheers

C.
